Hello from Fort Collins, CO! I'm a long-time shooter, but only discovered muzzleloading fun this past summer. I visited my college roommate for the first time in about 20 years, and he took me shooting in the desert outside of LV. But no "black guns" or other modern contrivances here! Percussion and flintlock rifles and pistols only. He totally changed my perspective. What fun! You mean, I can spend an entire day at the range, shoot maybe only 50 rounds, spend no more than $20, and have a blast??? Wow. Whole new world. I've devoured the Lyman BP manual and other classics. I bought a TC .50 "Hawken" (along with lots of interesting traditional gear and rendezvous items) from a gentleman, and a Pedersoli .50 Rocky Mountain Hawken from the Cabela's bargain basement. In addition to fun shooting, I'm looking forward to trying to take an elk during the muzzleoading season next year. Anyway, I'm impressed with the knowledge base here, and just wanted to introduce myself.
