    Missed opportunities

    Do you suppose the miss is related to your relative elevated position (stand) and the close range (15)? What range is your 100 yd rifle zeroed at?

    Hunting loads for my .58 black powder rifle

    Besides all the technical considerations discussed on the previous pages, I have to ask, "is it ethical to shoot a deer or any animal beyond the range of common hunting or stalking techniques?" OK, you missed a deer with a long shot that most muzzleloader hunters consider too far. What if you...

    A Plug for Our Flintlock Sport, From the Land of Unmentionables

    I just got this email from the NRA with an excerpt from The American Hunter article. It is a good read and hopefully acts as a draw to our sport for those not yet initiated on the wonderful flintlock. It is well written. I am sure some will recognize that the author, and my posting, is...
