Feel superior shooting a sidelock? LOL that's funny, In no way do I feel superior, when a 149.00 inline will shoot circles around my 700.00 sidelock. I have NOTHING against an inline or any other firearm. If it goes BANG I like it. I started with an inline. A Traditions Buck Stalker in a Plastic Redi pack, had everything except the powder. It shot AWESOME right out of the pack. But along the way I wanted to go back and do it the way my forefathers did. With some of the equipment (well LIKE the equipment) they had. And shooting a sidelock with REAL black powder and a patched round ball is just TOO MUCH FUN to me. Its fun to figure out their personality and get them shooting as accurate as possible. Because in essence you are a hand loader right there at the shooting bench. My statements about not allowing the inlines in a primitive weapons season could be the same argument archery guys have against crossbows. Crossbows were illegal for a long time. I guess none of us really have an argument here. We could go on and on I guess. Heck even I would be shunned at some of these "traditional" shoots. Being that I load with a precut patch, etc, etc. Ok I'm gonna stop rambling.Why then is it you feel superior because you shoot a "traditional" gun?
