Hello from Ohio

[Atticus69]

I got into muzzleloaders about five years ago, but only modern in-line. I enjoy my T/C Encore as it is a reliable hunting tool, but it is only a tool to me. My wish is to get into muzzleloading as a hobbie with a more traditional platform. I still haven't narrowed down a rifle to purchase, but I have learned a lot so far from this forum. Right now I am leaning to acquiring a full stock flintlock rifle that won't break the bank because I don't want to make rookie mistakes on a premium ML. I look forward to learning more from the wealth of knowledge on here. Hopefully in the future I can return the favor.

Greetings Madison county from Hardin county!

Thanks for the information. I saw there is one in Darbyville, which is only about a twenty minute drive for me. Is anyone on here part of "Bill Moose Muzzleloading Gun Club" in Darbyville, Ohio?

the NMLRA magazine, "MuzzleBlasts" has a list of ML clubs in each state--Ohio has more than nearly any other state. You may want to check, there may be a couple near you, which could be a great place to get started and meet others of like interest and more experience.

Welcome to the addictively involving end of shooting BP, from SW OH.
Take your time; listen to the advice here; choose well.
It sounds like you are doing it logically; when a rifle fits & speaks to your gut, you will have found the one.

Good to hear. I Guess I'm pretty fortunate to have two clubs so close by.
