Barrel condoms

[Rie bread]

Anybody do this? Tape? Finger of a rubber glove? Condom?

Iv never thought of this but maybe could see doing it in a multi day in somewhere rainy. Curious if it’s more common then iv observed

I’ve used them during rainy weather on my muzzle loader. Nothing worse than a misfire when you have a bull on your sights. They work for me.

Years ago I ordered a bag of 500 finger cots on amazon. Almost time to order more.

I'm a believer in electrical tape on a barrel in rainy weather!!

I usually use electrical tape , once across the muzzle and one piece around it to hold it better. Not just for rain , but for when you eat s#$% and the muzzle hits the ground.

Muzzle loader make sense.

Electrical tape works great. I have tested groups with tape and without tape and no POI change at all.

Taped since day one in inclement weather ……. tried the stupid rubber deal one time, ripped it off in the brush and went right back to the tape !!!!

Tape, always, any weather.

Always electrical tape my barrel in hunting conditions. I also wrap extra around my trekking poles in case I need it later. I think it's essential when you are backpack hunting.

I feel like 15+ years ago I never saw any barrel condoms but maybe I never payed to close of attention to what other did with the end of their barrel

I never knew they existed until I looked them up from your post.
They look way promising. I think I'll order some.

If you are used to electrical tape I wouldn’t waste your money on them. They rip way to easy on brush.

If you slip/fall and your muzzle gets packed with mud on your hunt what would you do?

Haven’t had an issue with that yet with my rifle in 25+ years. With a shot gun yes but that’s an easy fix. To answer the hypothetical, I carry 25’ of thin stiff chord, a handkerchief, water bottle( with water), needle, leatherman, tent pegs, etc I’m sure it would be a none issue.

You tape your barrel?

 

[Cahunter805]

I do tape my barrel. I hunt in burnt and brushy areas and have had sticks in the muzzlebrake and muzzle before. Just a precaution now.

Black tape. No matter the weather.

In rainy/snowy conditions during muzzy and rifle seasons I use electrical tape. The pros say it doesn't change POI. If it's raining really bad I put the muzzy inside a contractor and stand hunt (or just head back to camp and drink coffee until the front passes).
