I am A member of the Traditional Muzzleloading Association, as i HAVE no interest in the so called modern muzzle loading guns. To me there are for want to be muzzleloaders, who don't want to take the time to learn the art of muzzleloading.
Some folks are all in in on one discipline of shooting sports. That is great! Every group needs enthusiastic folks like that. Others are involved in many groups and interest. Only so much time, energy, and so much to do.
Everyone has their own choices to make. If you are enjoying yourself, you are doing something right!
The traditional muzzle loading is steeped in rich history, old ways, and yes, often not the easy trail. God bless those who keep this living history alive!
I admire and respect the dedication, reenactors, traditionalists, PC and HC bring to this wonderful forum. I’ve learned a lot here in the short time I’ve been lurking, posting here.
I have been at a place in life where, too much work, too many bills, not enough hours in the day, left little time for anything except soldiering on and providing for my family, in the stubborn German way my family always has.
I can now afford some of the nicer things in life, and finally have time to enjoy them more often. Still, I can remember, hunting with a used single shot 12 gauge, that was the only gun I owned at the time. And, I was proud to have it. It was called a “White Powder Wonder.” Grandson has it now.
I am trying very hard to encourage others, share life’s joys, bring a sense of brotherhood and unity to the Patriot 2A supporters I meet along the way.
I do enjoy looking at posts of members with a used TC, that may be their first BP rifle, just as I do picture heavy posts of custom built works of art, that both humble, and blow my mind with the detail and craftsmanship. I can often feel the same sense of pride of ownership, in both posts. Imagine that!
