FWIW, I've been running a poll in a blackpowder section of another site where all forms of muzzleloaders are discussed, asking for preferences on the type of muzzleloader used...and while not a huge statistically valid sample, so far responses are running:
Traditional = 24%
Modern = 76%
Easy to see the results of the past 15 years marketing campaigns...and that's from a membership who are already into some form of muzzleloading, looking at the blackpowder section, etc.
I suspect the remaining untapped set of potential hunters country wide / world wide, who have yet to get their first ML of any sort is still a very large market...be interesting to know what the revenue projections are...new first time purchases, replacement upgrades, scopes, ammo, supplies, etc, etc...must be staggering...easy to understand the continued feeding frenzy by the modern ML manufacturers
