Fact #1- If you’re planning on taking up arms, plan on getting hurt.
Fact #2- Statistically speaking, 10% of those injured will die from injuries sustained. Nothing you will do can change this. These casualties will be dead usually from first contact.
Fact #3- Of the 90% who don’t die, without a tiered response plan by trained and seasoned pros, many of them will die also.
Fact #4- In this era of government sponsored public endangerment, most public places are now an asymmetric battlefield.
Now that may not fit into your 3%er Rambo paradigm, but its the truth. So if you haven’t been a) networking, b) networking with the right people and c) training, you might just want to get on that. We are going to deal with how to stock a realistic personal kit that will actually save lives and won’t kill you or your patient in the…

another one of those things you can’t start after the lights go out
Posted: September 22, 2016 by gamegetterII in UncategorizedSaturday pretty much sucked to be shooting-torrential rains on and off all morning,into the afternoon.
I followed the directions,and fired 20 shots through my inline,and 20 through my sidelock,I had some of the “grit” left,so I shot an additional 5 rounds through the sidelock.
A lead sled would have been a good idea,but I didn’t bring one,I did add a sweatshirt to what I was wearing to help absorb recoil though. My shoulder just quit hurting today.
Almost 100 rounds out of .50 caliber muzzleloaders is a lot-45 out of the inline,and 50 out of the sidelock.
The inline shot approximately 3″ groups at 100 yds prior to firelapping,I got 2-2 1/2″ groups after the firelapping-so some improvement,but not the 50% improvement that others have seen after using the firelapping process.
The sidelock shot at best 6″ groups at 100 yds-many were 8″ groups.
After the 25 rounds fired for the firelapping-holy shit-the sidelock was shooting 3″ groups!
I shot groups of 5 rounds-5 groups-after the firelapping,a couple of them were 2″ groups,the others were 3-3 1/2 inches.
That’s one hell of an improvement in accuracy for a made in the mid 1980’s CVA Woodsman!
Extra bonus is the thing is much easier to load now too.
My original post on firelapping/improving your muzzleoader’s accuracy is here
The source for the firelapping kits is Beartooth bullets-their site is here
I believe the process makes a heck of an improvement for the $50.00 or so it costs.
Due to the rain-I couldn’t take pics-I’m not trashing my phone or my digital camera to take a pic of a falling apart, soaking wet target with a few bullet holes in it.
The process works,at least with older muzzleloaders.
I wholeheartedly endorse firelapping for older muzzleloaders-the difference in my CVA Woodsman was amazing. The thing was never as accurate as it is now,and I’ve shot it a lot over the years.
My brother in law swears it worked wonders for a couple of his centerfire rifles-so if you have an older rifle that’s not shooting as god as you would like it to-spend the fifty bucks,and firelap the thing-you just may turn it into a super accurate rifle.
