I do some Cowboy Action Shooting with the 1875 Remingtons, these are cartridge revolvers,butI recentlyhad the opportunity to shoot a pair of the Colt 1860 Army repro's, which they also use in CAS shooting, and it's given me the bug to try my hand at a pair of the Navys to see if I might like to shoot matches with them.
As for getting into traditional muzzleloading, all I can say about that is that it's worth every extra effort!!! I'vehunted withtraditional muzzleloaders for years and it's the most rewarding hunting there is to me because its not about trophies or numbers, its about HOW you harvest the game regardless of its size. It makes a doe as exciting as a buck, or, a pheasant as exciting as 3 pheasants!
I recommend you try it and see what I'm talking about.
I have shot a few traditionals and loved every moment of it. The only problem is the price of those things. I can't afford crap until I pay for mytruck
.
I may be able to get a reasonably priced pistol but it's doubtful.
I agree 110% with the comment about how you harvest the game. I am one of the few in my area who still bowhunts and muzzleloads instead of pulling out the rifles and shotguns. I am as proud as I can be of anything I harvest.
