This is geared toward respecting each individual in our sport of Muzzleloading, be it man, woman, or youth. Traditional, non Trad, etc. Every one of us are entitled to our opinions, whether you shoot Patched Round Ball, Lubed bullets, Paper Patched bullets, on shore, off shore guns, etc. It is a fun hobby GO OUT AND ENJOY IT!! It's very obvious that not all of us are gonna agree on certain things, methods, etc. That doesn't mean my way is superior to yours, or yours to mine, etc. each of us are entitled to our opinions! It would be a pretty darn boring world if we all thought alike! I respect you guys that choose Patched Round Ball, dressing up like the olden days (Rendezvous's) etc. As most of you know it's not my thing, and that doesn't matter! I try and share my opinion, and help others in the area of the hobby i have chosen (Paper Patched and sized bullets, Peep sights, and how to make it all come together and work the way i have chosen from my success to my non success, etc.) Guys like rfd, and Waksupi just to name a few are Authorities on Trad stuff, if i were to go that route it's guys like that i would seek for help, and there knowledge in the sport, as i know very little to nothing in the areas they excell in. Again its all about having fun, and enjoying this great hobby of Muzzleloading whichever route you choose.
