It might not appeal to people already immersed in this, but how many other mags on the shelf gave that much coverage to traditional muzzleloaders and crafts? This mag seems to have massive distribution. I can't begin to guess how many people have had an interest sparked in traditional muzzleloaders and primitive skills because of it. None of the articles were as in depth as articles in Muzzleloader magazine, but in that issue alone there are articles on primitive trapping, beaver trapping, making char cloth/wood, "colonial rendezvous", how to make a leather knife sheath, Joe Meek, longhunters, a custom made flintlock, blacksmithing, making a coon skin cap, atlatls, stone tools, Springfield model 1795, traditional blackpowder handguns, medicinal plants, making lye soap and more. With 3 issues out so far there has been very little mention of in-line guns. This is perfect for anyone just starting out. This mag is a little more bushcrafting oriented than straight muzzleloading. If it helps get people involved in traditional muzzleloading and primitive skills I'm all for it. As their interest grows they will seek out more in depth information. I have picked up all three issues and will continue to support it as long as they remain focused on these topics.

Agree 100%Marc Adamchek said:Ever since it came under new management the magazine has gotten a fantastic overhaul.
I ALWAYS enjoyed the magazine and thought Scurlock Publishing did a great job. All the past issues bound in my library all the way back to 1990 are testament to that.
But when the "new guys" took over, the paper stock improved 100%, the addition of color was a much needed improvement and the articles are every bit as good as before.
I do Miss Mark Baker and Rex Norman (who seems to be mia a long time now)but Mark Sage and the others are doing a very entertaining and credible job.
One constant from the early days all through the many years is Tony Hunter. This man NEVER gets the proper admiration and respect he should; he DESERVES it. His research is intensive and scholarly and his writing is very good.
So subscribe to the magazine already!!! You'd have to be a tactical AR 15 Rambo to not completely fall in love with it. It is WORD, brutha! You ain't gonna find a better regularly published magazine on the subjects near and dear to your heart that brought you here. The only bad thing is you have to wait every 2 months but there's always enough to stretch out until the next issue.
And as someone mentioned, join the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association - it's your duty! - and you'll get their publication "Muzzle Blasts" sent to you every month. It's a good little mag to fill in the time between Muzzleloader.
Get off your arse!

Alden said:Buy any two years of Muzzle Loader and you have them all, mostly. Same with most gunzines.
Now, if they're publishing poems they didn't even read because they clearly don't even rhyme properly it shows you how hard-up an already hard-up magazine with weak editors has become for filler.
If you subscribe might not wanna pay for more than a year at a time...

Rod L said:As an aside, when I talked to Rex Norman this summer, he doubted there would be any more articles from him. He noted that "He'd said all he wanted to say". I really hope that his columns are released in book form, like those of Mark Baker and Beth Gilgun. I could think of no better introduction to the fur trade of the far west.

IowaShooter said:I'm new to reading your magazine and I must say I am a fan. It's great to read articles like you publish.
One suggestion is to do reviews of some of the production guns or maybe some of the builders guns. I can never get enough of the beautiful guns.
