Never said it did, did I? I asked why it bothers people so much not if it appealed to people? My girlfriend likes crafts or I call crap. It doesn't appeal to me, but it doesn't bother me so much I got to fill up every forum with 20 posts on it. I just am struggling to understand why it bothers people.

I suggest you take up a nice long bow. Seriously. If you like traditional aspect of muzzleloader, you will love the traditional aspect of long bow. If you like to get up close and personal, let me guarantee you my friend, its hard to hone any better. Any body can kill with a PRB, but not so easy, at least for me with a bow.

Heck I say try everything.
