I do. But like I said before, I'm a 1/2 a$$ed traditionalist.
I like your idea with the coin wrappers, it adds a special flavor to the hunt. As far as speed loaders puting the powder horn out of business, only if the ol' guys let it happen.
It's up to folks like you to keep the rest of us in check and show us yuppies how it's really supposed to be done. In these times when everything has to be fast I am surprised nobody has invented a belt fed muzzleloader yet.
I am sure if our Muzzleloader season were not so late, it follows all the other seasons, that you would see more traditionalists hunting here. But it makes it very difficult to hunt when the thermometer is hovering at 10° below zero to hunt in Buckskins.
Member back when I asked about the little plastic hootnannies to put over caps? well I found them at a place in Pa. They are called cap guards. They serve a couple of purposes. They protect the cap from moisture and they also keep the cap from throwing metal particles in your beautiful face. The name of the place that sells them is RMC Sports.
As far as tradition goes, if you are looking for a great Knifemaker that makes traditional Damascus knives I found one named Billy Watson. I just received a knife from him based on the Randal model survival knife, the man is truly an artisan of the first rank. Just go to his web site Billy's Blacksmith Shop Home of Watson Knives. I can't recommend him highly enough.
Best wishes, Bill
