I’ll be 24 in about two months, and I’ve been muzzleloading for a little over 2 years now. I’m working on getting my brothers, friends, and girlfriend into the hobby as well. So far I’ve brought them to a few rendezvous, took them shooting, and introduced them to “Into the wild frontier” and a few books to hopefully spark in interest that eventually leads back to muzzleloading. Pictured is my girlfriend and I.

At 82 I make my rattiest antique boom stick look new.

I have a locally made powder horn that out dates everyone.

I just turned 39 last week. I can’t remember a time that I wasn’t interested in muzzleloaders. My first was a sort of Kentucky pistol kit I found in our barn when I was 8 or so. I had lots of fun with it until the drum blew out the side while shooting it one day. My childhood heroes shot long rifles, and I wanted to emulate them. I wish more young people would take an interest in this hobby, but I just don’t see it happening. Children today think men are people who don’t know how to bend the brim on their ball cap and are afraid of loud noises. It’s pretty pathetic if you asked me.
