    Newbie to site....not Muzzleloading

    Hello Folks! I'm from Northeastern Pa. and have been into muzzleloading since 1973 when I got my first T/C hawken as a Christmas gift from my parents. At that time there was only myself and one other guy I went to school with (I was in 11th grade) that had muzzleloaders. My how times have...
