Judging from the amount of in-line threads on this forum...pretty safe bet you can talk about them here.

Just came from the other site too. Still a member there but need a place to talk about my CVA Kodiak. Thanks for being here.

Glad to see some others have found this site.
I too was a member there, still am. There's no cannon links on this site
though, so I can't abbandon them completely.

I disagree with the owner of that site aswell. No point crying over spilled milk any longer. I hope one day they see the light. I don't know how
the U.S. government works, but here in Canada things are different.
We beleive everyone has the right to hunt with any weapon in the right
season. traditional or modern. why? Because the land will be here long
after we're gone. In order to maintain the balance between man and
nature, we must stop over populated areas from over grazing. there's only so much time in the season, so there's no time slots left to seperate
modern ml'rs from trads. The government doesn't care how we hunt, so long as the balance is maintained. Traditionalists feel their rights are being infringed upon by inliners, that could be,but they forgot the fact that the government only gave them the season because of the population boom.
The populations are still rising, the need to hunt has never been stronger, and the only way to turn more people on to hunting was to alow newer, easier to use guns. Sorry if this offends anyone but it's the truth. My uncle
is good friends with the chief firearms officer, and he told me this, so what can we do? The environment is more important than what you or I
beleive or would like done. Personaly, I'm glad the government doesn't
take sides. By sharing the time slot, there's
more chance of running into a traditionalist or modern hunter and learn from the differences, introduce us to new methods, etc. Anyway I'm not
here to extend the arguments that caused the trouble on the other site.
I'm here to learn and pass on what I've learned to whoever asks.

Last but not least, it's too bad my screenname was already taken. Running out of cannon ammo for names, so don't no one take bp off
this site PLEASE!

Jason a.k.a cannonball no longer,
now a.k.a. Grapeshot.

P.S. I did get offly ticked when the other site went down and got tired of biting my tongue. I said some pretty nasty things I regret today. Sorry if
any of you here were on the receiving end of my wrath over there. I never started any controvercial topics, just made the mistake of sticking my nose where it don't belong. Sorry all, again.

Well, I for one thought it was silly to actually discontunue a active forum because the traditional members couldn't control themselves to stay off. And the only course of action was 1.)let it be, 2.) actually enforce the rules he had in place and warn/ban traditionalist who violated it, 3.) discontinue the modern forum. He picked 3 cause if he started banning his traditionalist members who is going to visit his page. He definately has a different set of rules from guys who think like him and modern shooters.

Hey, it was his dime and time, he can do what he wants. But I believe its in poor taste. He has been looking for a reason to discontinue the modern forum.

If the truth be known, he wanted rid of it to get down to his history stuff, and reenactment stuff. And I for one would rather a person to be honest and just come out and say that. But not everyone is me.

Big,
I think you hit the nail on the head with the comment about him having two sets of rules. I never saw the post to end it all but I was wondering why he let "Cold Mountain" start an anti inline post on the modern board and then continue to goad the MML who answered him. I thought that was a bit unfair considering the out come, but it is his dime so onward we march.

Hey Folks!

I'm here. A little brusied and bleeding but I'm here.

I don't fault the Admin at the other site, afterall it's his party and he made his choices. That would not have been my choice, even if it was my forum. Sort of a God-Complex to me. I don't hold any ill will, but there are a couple that might not make my xmas card list this year. [:@]

This is a really good place to rap about pretty much anything without having to take a beating for your views. It's good to be able to rap about all forms of muzzleloading without having to deal with the elite prima donna's.

It's great to have the new members to the forum and especially the familiar names.. This just adds to the information available here for everyone because we are getting some real heavy hitters in the inline informationdepartment in addition to those already here.. Welcome to all.

I would not loose any sleep over what the other forum decided to do. His sight, his rules...

This does seem like a nice board.. Glad I stumbled across it!

Well Gel your wife called and said it smells like Pyrodex. I guess you are in!!! Guess mine smelles worse havn't heard from mine....

I too can say I was a bit disappointed to see the actions of the other forum being that I shoot both inline and traditional ML's. I surely won't loose any sleep over it. I'm just glad this forum is here and have some "grown ups" who can discuss all aspects of BP without getting "bent" over something they don't agree with. Glad to see some of the familiar names. Welcome everyone and I'll see ya around.
