June Fir,Fish,Game - Bridgers trashed traditional & PRB

[skeet]

As a shooter and hunter I feel I owe it to the game to use the most efficient tools for hunting. I am first off not advocating the Savage. I simply said for ME at this time I do not like to clean black powder guns. As far as advocating I feel that we should introduce as many new people into the sport as we can. Traditional and non traditional. I did NOT say that the roundball isn't able to kill animals..I simply said that there are more efficient projectiles. As I said I used roundballs in my traditional Hawken type rifles. And as far as trashing the magazine? YOU wrote the letter to them stating you would not renew the subscription because they printed an article contrary to what you believe. So I take it you are going to cancel the subscription? I have a lot of respect for the traditionalist black powder shooter and hunters. At the same time I am not blind to the other side of the issue either. When I was hunting quite a bit with the Hawken I kept my shots under 100 yds and tried hard to keep them under 50(which wasn't too hard in my neck of the woods) Other than Natty Bumpo of Leatherstocking fame.AKA .La Long Carabine..I feel that the round ball should be used in like manner now too. I imagine you do too. Sorry if you took offence. It wasn't written that way

Hey Billy... There were quite a few people bumped off during the War of Northern Aggression(Civil War) with a frontloading percussion firearm with a scope. One famous Confederate General was one. Ain't hardly nothing new under the sun. But Berdan's sharpshooters did use conical bullets...hehehe! Not dissing y'all...just reminding ya. I also just have to remind you of the Ferguson Rifle of the Revolutionary War era. Breechloading rifle that never really got the time of day because of the Stiff British traditionalism. If it had been adopted by the Brits...we might have lost that fight..oh if I am not wrong..it shot a round ball too!
