But you just cant fix stupid.
You're right about that
bronko. But it's not always a matter of being stupid.Things that are so obvious to old hands in muzzleloader might never even cross the mind of a novice.If I were introducing a 12 year old to muzzleloading I would begin with very basic things, keep the explainations simple, and expect questions about things that seem obvious to me. Well, a 40 year old who has no experience with muzzle loaders is just like that 12 year old.
I agree, perhaps the moderator's could place a "sticky" thread at the top for newcomers on subjects just as this. Some newcomers don't ask questions as they are afraid of looking dumb and if we had that it could save them a lot of frustration. Just a thought...
