Must have BP extras.

[GILLY]

After 3 years of hunting exclusivly with my TC Encore, I have come to realize that there are some things a shooter must have.

-a spare breach plug
-EZ-tip extracor
-welding torch cleaning needle thingy's

I found the cleaning the breach plug to be far easier with the torch cleaning thingy, it has enough of a file type edge to remove powder residue in the tight pocket of the plug. The EZ tip extracor is self explanitory, you don't have to do a full dismantle to do a cleaning at the end of the day.

Anyone else have some stuff in their possibles bag to share?

I bought a spare breech plug wrench and welded a long metal rod on it, maybe a bit less than foot long. It's not a field tool, but it makes removing a stubborn breach plug much easier on the knuckles.

I also keep a very short handled ratchet with the appropriate socket in my BP box for removing the plug.

After tonite,I can see where the EZ tip extractor will come in handy.
That'll be my 1st priority,then maybe a thumb-hole stock.
Those welding thingy's are simply called 'tip cleaners'
Eventually,I will also buy a fibreglass ram-rod.
Other than that,the T/C Encore is one of my better investments other than my Mathews bow

Now you can leave drool stains on your own gun, and leave mine alone

Is it recommended to use anti-seize on the plug?
Cheers nessy.

Yup or you wont get your breech plug out.

Even 2 shots is enough to make the plug harder than h...e...double hockey sticks, to get out. I use bore butter on the plug. Gorilla grease works good but for the amount you get for the price you pay, bore butter is more economical.
