Re: Muzzy Bullet Review From CVA Optima

Re: Muzzy Bullet Review From CVA Optima

Re: Most accurate muzzleloader?

Traditions is the only muzzleloader that my grandfather will buy. He regularly downs deer beyond 200 yards... understand that he years ago he was on the Utah Highway Patrol pistol team and also has also competed in many marksmanship competitions while on the Patrol. He's a freakishly amazing shot.
