Can You Help?

If you do it's a cva trad. Nothing any good to see...

I went to the skeet and traps range with mine pedersoli 10ga They all had little cz kids guns for it.. and they were dressed for it.

I wanted to shoot at something flying and practice loading before going hunting...

Anyway yea you don't fit in kinda.

I go to our range more often than not with my traditional muzzleloaders. I usually go early morning during the week so I don’t have to deal with the center fire crowd. I have several .54’s in flint and percussion, a .58 flint, and a .62 smoothbore with a few percussion and flint pistols mixed in. These rifles tend to draw a crowd every now and then and I will allow others to try them if they show an interest. Most on lookers are surprised at how accurate they are.

They do because they don't know these guns and we take a little more time each shot and loading it nice. I kinda care so I make it count no Binga banging away. So they see your target like how

I have owned and shot a wide variety of muzzle loading platforms, to include Pope rifles. To say I dislike or that other platforms be restricted, is not for me to say. What I will say, is that I prefer a sidelock flintlock, in rifle pistol and smoothbore or fowler. You are free to do what you wish.

What I will say, my opinion is that with traditional sidelocks becoming more scarce, inlines and other platforms, are what is keeping fish and wildlife agencies from closing a muzzleloading season altogether. The numbers just might not be there for traditional only season to survive. How many atlatl seasons do we see?

No reason to ever close a traditional ML season, it’s not costing them anything to keep them open and they still receive revenue from license sales, no matter how little, some is always better than none. Here in PA we have an any ML season for does only in late October, modern MLs are legal during any rifle season and a traditional only season after Christmas,

I really enjoy shooting my traditional ML's. I like shooting lots of different firearms. Since I've retired, I shoot more BP than anything. Squirrel hunting with my 32's freaking just fun.

I have nothing against a guy that hunts with whatever suits him. When I shot trad archery, it was trad guys versus compound guys, etc.. Most of us hunt for our own reasons, in our own way, with our choice of hunting implement. Hell, we even do it here. The flint guys versus the cap guys.

The ANTI's that want to ban hunting, and close public lands to hunting are my enemy. Not a guy who buys a licence just like me, but hunts with a different weapon. This is still America. Some of you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
