Muzzle Loading Guns

Welcome to the World of "Ancient" Firearms



 


The world of Muzzleloading Firearms is a total experience in itself, incorporating intellectual satisfaction and sporting skill. On the surface, shooting these fine old firearms seems like modern marksmanship, but it is an entirely new experience and a totally new discipline, not to be confused with modern riflery.

Skills like "follow through" and breathing techniques are far more important in muzzleloader shooting, approcahing the athletic skill needed in archery.

Intellectual pursuit in the hobby of muzzleloading ranges from the appreciation of fine art and ingenuity to the fanatical study of Early American History.
