practice question

I will be starting muzzleloader hunting this year. i have never even loaded one.
So i plan to shoot alot.
But i missed twice last year on deer one a 9 point buck. so i will be shooting my bow alot as well.

Well it hurt me if i go to the rifle range shoot the muzzleloader 10 or 20 times then come home and shot my bow for some time.
Is it to much in one day or no problem.
I want to shoot my bow atleast three or four times a week i want to shoot about 50 times or so each day.

Should i shoot bow one day and ml another or not worry about it.

No it's no problem. The kick of the Muzzle-loader may surprise you but it's not a lasting pain if you hold it properly. I would also suggest swabbing the barrel every 2nd or 3rd shot.

Not a problem at all. In fact, squeezing the trigger may slow you down and stop you from punching that release. LOL. If you plan to shoot the muzzleloader a lot make sure you stock up on cleaning supplies. Depending on you load, but no matter what the load, those things need to be clean.... A LOT. 3 or 5 shots later you'll notice it's harder to shove the load home and all that. They are tempermental and need a real good cleaning immediately after shooting. If you plan to shoot a lot in one sitting take your cleaning gear to the range for in practice cleaning.

You should not have any problems doing what you described. If you are going to worry about it a lot though, just shoot a .22 they have practically no recoil and they are a lot cheaper to shoot.
Either way you should not have any problems.

i was thinking of what to use to hold all my shooting stuff and cleaning stuff.
I am thinking a tackle bag for fishing.just keep my powder or pellets bullet everything i need to shoot with my cleaning stuff.
I am not the type of hunter that shoots his gun and lays it on the hanger at home. I get as much enjoyment cleaning my guns as i do shooting them.
It will get cleaned after every shoot and after every 2 or 3 rounds.
