I recently talked to a long-time muzzleloader who told me that most early muzzleloading rifles were meant to be shot with the butt fitted down off of the shoulder slightly-kind of between the shoulder and the bicep (kind of on the upper arm to some degree). This is in contrast to the modern rifle that is tucked in on the inside of the shoulder. I have yet to try it on the range to see what it feels like. I am wondering if this has something to do with many early rifles having a trigger pull length that seems short to me. Is that correct and I have been missing out? Any thoughts or experiences to share? Thanks.
