I have seen several pictures here of rifle barrels taped off during hunting and have a few questions.
1. Can you just shoot with the tape on the end of the muzzle with no effect of a "plugged barrel"? 2. Does it affect accuracy?
Thanks for all who share there experiences and knowledge.

If you couldn't and it did, none of use would be doing it.

Fold over the tape against itself to create a quick pull tab if you like if you're uber paranoid but I've shot elk at 600 yards with tape on.

Air blows the tape off before the bullet gets there.
It's all in the reflexes.
