    woods walks in Michigan

    Where are you located? There is a muzzle loader event virtually every weekend someplace in the state every weekend. As mentioned above, go to the Michigan State Muzzle Loading Association website and click on the 2023 shoot schedule. http://msmla.org/...

    Bear Banger

    I got mine with my 20 ga. trade gun. It was around a 200 pound bear, shot at about 25 yards, He went about 50 yards and expired.

    Greetings from from the only state comprised of two peninsula's.

    Welcome Undertow! Where in Michigan are you? Being new to traditional muzzleloaders, there are a lot of clubs around where you can find all the help you need, some of it will actually be helpful LOL. Seriously though, there is a lot of very knowledgeable people out there, and all will be...

    BEST and WORST Actor in a Role of Ours?

    Worst for me was Leo DeCaprio in The Revenant. Totally unbelievable in that role. Of course, that is a biased opinion, because I don't like him as an actor.

    Question about what to load in a smoothbore.

    Hopefully this is unnecessary to say, but it has been suggested a couple of times above to cannibalize shotgun shells for the shot. Please remember, DO NOT USE THE POWDER IN THOSE SHELLS in your muzzle loader. Sorry if this is a totally unnecessary post, but by your post, you seem a bit of a...

    Why a smoothbore?

    It is a lot like asking why you shoot a muzzle loader instead of modern, there is no easy answer, it is just better. I like the versatility too. With my 20gage trade gun, I have taken bear, deer, turkey, quail, squirrel, duck, rabbit, chukar, and woodchuck. In shooting matches, I don't feel...

    Flintlocks Anonymous

    I have a flint trade gun, a flint double 12 ga. shotgun, 3 flint rifles, and a flint smoothbore pistol. In 50 years of ml shooting, I have never owned a caplock gun. There is just something about flint that is far more fun to shoot than a cap gun. One thing I have noticed over years of...

    Anthony Zoli .58 cal smooth bore, buffalo gun

    Hi all, recently came into possession of an Anthony Zoli, Navy Arms, .58 smooth bore buffalo gun. I was considering selling it, but have no clue as to value. Bore looks real good, outside of gun looks good. Any rough estimates as to value?

    What do you hunt with your traditional muzzleloader?

    Started muzzle loader hunting with my TC .50 flintlock in 1975. For the last 20 years I have used my 20 gage trade gun almost exclusively. Have taken deer, bear, turkey, squirrel, rabbit, quail, chukar, woodchuck, and duck with that one gun over the years

    I have a question for the Smoothbore crowd

    I have a 20 gage French Fusil Fin trade gun, it has a 42 inch barrel. I have taken bear, deer, turkey, rabbit, squirrel, duck, quail, and chukar with this gun. I limit my round ball shots to 50 yards. I have taken many deer, and none of them went over 40 yards, all were heart/lung shots...

    Lead, think about this next time you shoot!

    I am glad they did that mining, but, NO WAY would I EVER go down in those holes in the ground. Could not pay me enough to do it. Same with coal mining.
