Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Poll: Do you hunt with a round in the chamber?

Cold chamber solves the "problem", and is the point......

I never got to know my Dad's cousin who died from an unwanted discharge long before I was brought into this world.

His name was always Little Billy, and I know where he is buried in the old family plot......

Ironic that even after he died no one in my extended family considered hunting cold chamber, or at least I was never aware of it. I do know that those closest to the event never hunted again. Never really was told the accurate circumstances of his death as it was an event that just didn't get talked about. It was an "accident", he was gone, it was sad, and things happen was about all I ever got.

Dad on the other hand made darn sure I knew all the "safety rules" from the git-go, and I think it was Little Billy's death that made him go above and beyond that call of duty.

It didn't help though, as my unwanted discharge made it all mute.......
