			skeet, 
 
The Inlines were Connecticut Valley Arms Ultra Mag and Firebolt bolt actions and were under $200 each.  The Traditional Hawken Flintlocks and Caplocks are over $650 new at the nearby gun shop. The latest Cabela's Catalog arrived yesterday and pages 664 thru 671 shows lots of Inlines running from $179.99 to $799.99.  If you are paying a grand, or better, try Cabelas. 
 
I say, "meat hunters" because they are folks who grab an Inline to hunt a few weeks more each year.  They are not purists who monkey about with a flinter or caplock Hawken.  They just want a modern-looking arm that requires little skill to employ.  I am glad PA still has the Traditional Flintlock deer season after Christmas into mid-January.  The inline hunters I know gripe, but will not try to master a flintlock for that three-week flintlock season.  Thus, I deem them meat hunters. I dress the part of a French & Indian War Couer des Bois flinter and only shoot does that have already been greviously wounded like my last doe that has her left hind leg shot off.  Yep, I am a meat hunter and a Traditional hunter.
