Traditional muzzleloaders only

[user 49399]

I was thinking about this past year and the shooting and hunting I've done. 100% of my hunting was done with a flintlock. Probably 98% of my plinking/target shooting was with a traditional muzzleloader. It got me to wondering, who all here shoots only traditional muzzleloaders?

Thanks

I don't always shoot muzzleloaders .............but when I do, I shoot traditional muzzleloaders.

Oh, no, there's way too many great pew-pewers out there. I hunt only with bows and traditional sidelocks, but when the urge hits me I clang steel with all of it. I shoot Tannerite with anything over 2kfps, shoot 1000 yard targets with my other unmentionables, and not to mention, only shooting traditional leaves no room for fully automatic gunfire what what.... Nothing like a high cyclic rate in full F&I garb to get both hemispheres of your brain clicking on all cylinders....

I’ve got some suppository guns for defense but I’ve only hinted with traditional styled mothers forty plus yeas now

Same for me.

Hmmmm ...I own no __________ of any kind. However, my wife owns two little _______ but she has only fired about a dozen shots with ________ in nine years; many more with traditional MLs. Polecat

Traditional all the way. Almost exclusively flintlock.

I'm 53, first timecI fired any kind of gun was about 4 years ago. I got into MLs 2 years ago because they looked fun (and are.) But I am not going to give up the unmentionables. They have their own time and place, in both fun and in practicality.

Let's see -
Air, water, stored kinetic (strings, rubber bands, hatchets), black, grey, atlatl , boomerang,
If it launches a projectile - I'm in.......

Mostly traditional muzzleloaders, but very infrequently cartridge and airguns.

I shoot traditional muzzleloaders....3 flints & 2 cap guns. Nothing else interests me anymore.

I shoot anything that recoils! Match lock to machine guns and even a cannon from time to time. Shooting one type would be boring for me.

That's what you call a black powder maniac right there!

In the last 12 years I have killed 1 elk and 1 deer with a cartridge gun.
I have shot 10 deer 2 antelope and 3 elk with my TC muzzleloaders.

I shoot pretty much anything I can get my hands on. I still own five unmentionables which is actually down from fifteen but I now have four finished muzzleloaders and three in different stages of build or modification. I also own three PB revolvers.

It’s dropped off a lot, and I’ve been shooting my unmentionables much more.

I miss the muzzleloaders, and right now own no Muzzleloading rifles of any kind after selling my Ohio rifle. I am thinking on having a builder make me a Schimmel styled Lehigh fainter soon while I am deployed overseas.

Quality over quantity, I say. All my hunting and 97% of my shooting is done with sidelocks. The rest is practice with my handgun to stay sharp and quick or plinking with a little bolt action .22 to know I still got it.

Flintlocks are about the only thing you can get for anymore.
