Barnes - PA did give modern muzzleloader shooter their own season in October. And your statement about the traditional ML shooters hating in-line shooters is false. Maybe there is a small group that are like that but not the majority. I have both in-lines and sidelocks. Yeah , I would love to use one of my percussion sidelocks during the late season but it is not permitted. I like shooting all type of MLs but I don't mind being limited by season restrictions. So I use the caplocks in the early ML season or during regular rifle season. So doing what I want while still following the rules.
