roundball and Adam

Although I am not a strict traditionalist, I use Clean Shot Powder and Sabots...sometimes but I do shoot a lot of PRB'S. My firearm is a caplock, CVA St. Louis Hawken. I have professed these shenanigans before.

I have also remarked on the advent of the belt or magazine fed muzzleloader.....looks like we are one step closer with the electronic ignition system.

Now granted this thing loads from the front designating it a muzzleloader but.....busses load from the front also and they are not muzzleloaders. We are stretching terms here.

Our mz season up here is at the tail end of the rest of the seasons. We are sucking hind teat to put it mildly. I would like to hunt in a truly traditional manner during this season but I'll be dipped in doo doo before I go out across the countryside at 30° below zero weather in buckskins. I've done some less than smart things in my life but that ain't gonna be one of them.

Muzzleloaders that shoot faux powders, are in lines, have any kind of lit sight or a scope do not belong in the woods or plains during muzzleloader season. PERIOD.

Thats my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Best wishes, Bill

Let the flames begin. I've been shot, stabbed and burnt before. Whats new?
