YOUR COMMENTS:

Nowadays I mostly hunt (deer, elk) but I did spend quite a few years shooting MLs competitively, both locally and at the National Matches and rendezvous. I will probably be getting back into competitive shooting more now, since I took an early retirement.

I target shoot to be a better hunter. I do all the hunting activities. Small game, big game and wing shooting.

While I do a fair amount of target shooting and I enjoy attending rendezvous and woods walks, I have been participating most intensively as a reenactor prepresenting a British Grenadier private. I trust that fits the definition of Reenacting Progressive.

Tough question...
My primary PURPOSE is to hunt with flintlock muzzleloaders
