Eleven year old Hayley Van Scoyk, decided to get into the action with her dad's new Optima Muzzleloading rifle and added this nice Iowa doe to the family freezer.

Greg Van Scoyk, of Council Bluffs Iowa, up-graded his CVA rifle last year from an Eclipse to a Nickel Optima. After getting the rifle scoped and a load worked up, he headed out to the woods with the new rifle. Greg shot his biggest buck yet, with a clean quick kill at 125 yards.

Kirk Hayes ventured out on a cold December day in Iowa, with his new Optima Pro. Kirk loaded his new rifle with a three pellet charge of Triple 7 and .50 caliber 245 grain PowerBelt bullet, and killed his deer at 45 yards. This Iowa buck sported four tines over 12 inches and is 20 inches wide.

Vince Sellers from Illinois, poses with a respectable South Georgia 7-Point and his Optima Pro .45 caliber rifle. A 125 yard shot with a new light weight PowerBelt Aero-Tip bullet on the first night of his hunt, got his trip to the south started off right.

Dave Rimathe shot this deer during the late Iowa muzzleloader season last year. He was about 75 yards out when he stood up, and Dave placed a 225 PowerBelt bullet, perfectly broadside. The deer only went about 60 yards before expiring. The rack grosses about 140 with a partially broken main beam.

Doug Bradley has plenty of reason to grin, posing with his Virginia 10 Pointer that green scored 172.6. Doug's CVA Apollo put this buck with 8 inch brow tines on the wall back in PA.
