It is a muzzleloader by definition period.
Anything that gets people out in the woods w/one shot is better in my opinion. One shot means being more careful about shot placement, what your aiming @, etc.
I use my Omega during shotgun season, sidehammer during late season some of the time.
Complaining about how trad it is is just brings down the sport.
If it is a legal means of taking game please enjoy....
