New to muzzleloading
« on: November 11, 2008, 07:26:02 PM »
Hello everyone.  I am looking at the Knight Shadow as my first muzzleloader.  Does anyone have one and if so what do you think? Thank you to all!

I don't have a Knight shadow nor know anything about it. Get something reasonably priced and some accessories and get out there.  Thats the best way to get started.

I agree, you are going to need: A Powder flask(unless you want to shoot pellets), powder measure, A short ball starter, capper, nipple wrench, patch worm and bullet puller and a jag plus the tools your new ML will come with. Don't forget these things, theres nothing worse than being in the field and finding out you need a nipple wrench or a patch worm and you don't have one.

I went to the range today to sight in my new scope for my .223 and a very nice man was there shooting his thompson center muzzleloader.  He ran me through everything and showed me how its done. I am very excited to get a muzzleloader now.  Thanx for all your help guys.

Some Walmarts have the Thompson Center OMEGA Z5 Premium Pack for $184, it was $298

Besides the rifle you get the Extended Super Jag, Breech plug wrench, Composite T-handle, Bottle of #13 bore cleaner, Natural Lube, Cleaning Patches, Super Lube grease, Flex Loader, 10 Shockwave bullets, and the World of Muzzleloading DVD.
