That looks great! In my opinion, and its just an opinion, please keep that late season as it was designed. Any sight that can be found in that time period should also be allowed. If its not than No. We are one of only a few states left having such a season. Im praying for future generations it stays the same. If it did change it wouldnt change the way I hunt anyway. Id like to see the tradition kept for future generations---simple as that and hope no feelings get hurt.

I did know or should say I read somewhere they were prior to 1800 but I dont have the proof. I can do a post in another site where the true experts lurk if no one can find the answer.

I'm looking forward to being able to add a peep to my flinter, I shoot a peep more accurately than I do the v-notch type. I would hope that they leave it as a flintlock only, but allow the peep site to be used, just my .02
RS - what model peep is that, I have a TC firestorm and would like to get the peep for when it becomes legal to use, thanks

I spent a hr. or so on the range this morning sighting in my flinter after installing the peep sight. i was shooting at 75 yds. the last group was about 3 in.(not good enough) i do like the sight my sight picture is much more clear.it must be me :-[the T/C usually shoots better than that,gonna take a break and try again later.
