I would go back to side hammer, no sabot in a heartbeat if i can have my nov. hunt back. Would be great to have a primitive, or antique muzzy season. Our camp, with 8 tags, i killed the only deer, 50 yrds. We average maybe a deer per year so our success was stagnant. We try(we are getting young guys now) to be a 4 point or better camp, that limits us more than anything. Having said that, my new accura2 scoped, is much more accurate, much more flawless in ignition than my open sight knight disc was. If we want to push to slow down, lets not chip at it, antique, ooen sight, flint/percussion, loose powder, no sabot. We had a lot of fun back inthe day, say tons of prerut bucks, spent more time chaining up and unfreezing trailers, than lobbing lead slugs at deer.
