I certainly would not let a newbie shoot one of my muzzleloaders with no supervision either. Asking for a dangerous disaster for both the shooter and my gun. If someone without experience would like to shoot my gun, I would load it myself a few times and teach them how as they watch, then let...

Good answers all,I get a laugh out of you guys. My wife complains about the stink too, I don't mind I just take my time and drink a couple more beers while I clean. She stays away and I have peace and quiet! :haha: Good idea about taking a second gun to let someone try out, I think I will...
