Should You Buy a Muzzleloader?
Every year, thousands of hunters purchase their first muzzleloading guns, many of whom have never shot one before. Assuming you might be one of these thousands, or know someone who is, here are few invaluable tips for finding your first.
Hardware: Thompson/Center Impact!SB
Thompson/Center’s newest .50-caliber smokepole, the Impact!SB, is easy to operate, accurate and, with a starting MSRP of just $263, it’s also an excellent bargain.
Hardware: LHR Redemption
Until the economy tanked, there were several muzzleloaders on the market, but nowadays there are only a handful hunters can count on to outfit themselves for it. LHR Sporting Arms now offers one.
October Gear: Stuff You Want
Some muzzleloading enthusiasts emulate Jeremiah Johnson, while others hit the woods looking more like George Jetson. Regardless, here are a few items that'll make a buck resemble Steak Diane.
