Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Safety locking bolt down.

I've never met a single hunter in New York that doesn't hunt with a hot chamber. Last I knew we had around 700,000 deer hunters taking to the woods annually yet we have VERY FEW hunting accidents. In fact, we have one of the top hunter safety records of any state in the Country. Seems accidents involving hunting with a hot chamber are pretty rare. You're undoubtedly FAR more likely to be killed or injured in a car accident on the way to hunt or by taking a header out of your deer stand.
