    That's one of the most screwed up, yet intregueing ideas I've seen. It sounds like thier products could quite possibly be a poachers dream.
    That said, I was cleaning an old muzzleloader one time and got the ramrod stuck in it and couldn't pull it out. I was afraid it'd break so I finally decided to remove the nipple and put as much powder in there as I could. Well, I had to repeat that procedure several times until finally the ramrod came flying out (probably 150 fps). SO, that got me thinking, something I don't do often... I started screwing around with the gun using a patched arrow and 100 grains of powder. It was fun to say the least and man it would fly. However, accuracy wasn't that great.
    Back to your question, I hadn't heard of it or seen anything written about it. It's kind of expensive if it doesn't work, and I'm not sure what the hunting applications (if any) would be, but a person doesn't need to justify anything if it's just for fun. If you get one let us know what ya think of it!
