But, but, it will get someone interested in our sport.....
I WAS a totally traditional BP hunter from about '68 on. Flintlock, round ball, etc.
Then, I bought a bolt action ml on closeout and shot it a little. Impressed. Gave it to my son who has shot a few deer with it. I had gone more modern, to a Browning Mountain Rifle, percusion.
Job kept me from hunting for a few years, ml shooting died out around here and I shotgun hunted the few times I could.
Retired, bought land, get landowners tags, hunt when I want. Won an inline. Still use black, lead, and open sights.
I absolutely think the fire stick thing is an abomination. I thought the same about CVA electric ignition.
Right now, when I go out I reach for something that matches my mood. Feeling lazy, the 220 Savage. Feeling lucky, the PSE recurve. Really lucky, 50 flinter. Feeling like a yuppie, the inline and I gel what little hair I have left.
I remember a number of years back when somebody announced the Ultimate Muzzle Loader, effective to 500 yards. I laughed. Ain't one out of a hundred that can dope the drop for a fifty at 500 and hit that loaf of bread.
Bad Stan. Long rant. Little information.
Short answer, a gimmick. Wait and see.
Next they will have something like a self contained cartridge.
