While hunting with my best friend, his dad and nephew I was able to teach them a valuable lesson. Me and Troy have gone round and round about hunting with a hot chamber. He thinks that one needs to hunt hot in case a deer jumps up in front of him. He has carried hot for years as has his father. I know that both of them are extremely careful about muzzle control, but I was not satisfied with that. I took a spill coming down the side of a hill and when Troy turned around all he could see was my muzzle pointed at himself and his nephew. Lets just say that I made my point about hunting with a cold chamber. I just hope it sticks..........Blake
