I understasnd it actually being the fact I shoot longbow, recurve, compounds and crossbows some days ill grab the crossbow, when sifting through the woods I may carry a recurve. some people are die hard traditionalists. I myself am more of a hunter and tend to use the easiest way to hunt with but dabble with pure tradition when I want my mind to wonder back to how our for fathers have done it. ive been successful both ways, however I do get a ribbing from my friends who are pure traditionalsists. what I noticed by watching them lead they once were like me who wanted a simple way of doing things so they grew to become more traditionalist if it makes any sense. whil ill never have a beef over anyone shooting caplock or flintlock nor pass any judgement I believe shoot what your heart tells you to shoot. I chose a flintlock as I know nothing about them other than what I read I am chosing to broaden my knowledge and experience. im sure there is a learning curve but im not afraid to learn or to change. in 3 years of being back with traditional muzzleloaders ive changed a lot and feel im better because I gave round balls black pouder a chance even have some dedicated roundball only guns now.
