Does anyone use a latex or other type of barrel cover for hunting? They say they are safe to shoot through just wondering what others experiences are with them.

They do the job and no harm to shooter or rifle, I use a finger from a rubber glove or a small balloon. I sometime use a piece of black electrical tape over the muzzle.

Piece of tape works great as said. Plus it doubles as a reminder the gun is loaded.
Highly recommend a witness mark, line, or tape on the ramrod where it sticks out of the barrel to signify the load is seated and not double loaded.

Your know it seated properly also. I usually just use a knife a mark the rod but tape works also |

I cut a piece out of a ziplock bag and tape it over the muzzle. Rubber band could work in lieu of tape. Lots of ways to skin the cat here!

I just cut a small square of electrical tape and put it on the muzzle. Doesn't affect accuracy at all and like deadeer said it tells me that the gun has a charge and projectile in it. I keep a few wraps of electrical tape around the end of the barrel, so I can cut off a piece and put it on the muzzle after I shoot. Beats carrying around a roll of tape in my pocket when hunting.

My brother tapes his muzzle. My patched round ball is tight enough that I do not need to tape mine for moisture. I should do it when there is snow though.
I figure Boone and Kenton did not use electrical tape on their muzzles.

A bright colored balloon for me.

Those are similar to the ones I was looking at except the ones I saw were orange. |

Every time I hunted AK, they always had you tape the barrel end with electrical tape. It does not affect accuracy or performance.
