Guys I remember when MZ seasons started becoming popular. And were springing up all over the country.

MZ started in most states as a "Primitive Weapons" season. Not a single shot season. Not a season for rifles that only load from the bore. But actualy a "Primitive Weapon" Some places have stayed with the "Primitive Season". For example the PA FL season. But even PA has evolved a bit and allowed inlines in their early season.

What happened was the manufacturers were consistently putting pressure on lawmakers to allow more and more advances in MZ's. And those advances made the MZ more and more effective to longer and longer distances.

I remember the fight over scopes on MZ's in many states. Let alone powders that are not Black Powder. Which is the propellant used in "Primitive Weapons".

I dare any one of you to compare your new Knight rifle to a "Primitive Weapon". You guys know better than that. You know the new modern MZ's are not even comparable to "Primitive Weapons".

Personally I have both weapons. And use both where and when legal. But I have no problem with a state that wants to go with the "true nature" of MZ season. And that "true nature" is NO DOUBT "Primitive Weapons". Not a Modern Breakdown MZ with a 4.5X14 Leupold with a CDS dial and a powder that is not even basesd in black powder. Come on!! Tom.
