Will the world end?
If we talk about modern muzzleloaders here?
On another site I visit people get so up tight about modern guns they caused enough flame wars that the moderator got rid of the modern sections. What next no discussions about percussion guns there?
I love shooting all kinds of m/l's and think they all have a place in this big wilderness called the USA. Some of the flinters just want to bann the inlines outright instead of trying to add more time for a season devoted to them. A position I find at odds with the 2nd amendment crowds I hang out with.
It is a private site and the owner did what he thought was right but I would have just banned the A-holes causing the problems, not get rid of the whole thing with most everyone that used the forum showing respect for everyone and having fun.
None of use are elites. All of our poop stinks we should get along.
The funny part about it is the people who instgated the problems won? How does that work?

RE: Will the world end?
I personally would not get concerned over the other forum owner's actions. That site, as the owner, are traditional at heart. He did what he felt best for his website. So the inline shooters from there can gather here and discuss all the things we feel necessary to inline shooting. We can also discuss the traditional muzzleloading aspects here as well and actually do not need the other site at all, when you get right down to it.
There are a lot of informed people here who's opinions and observations (you included) that I greatly respect. So instead of worrying about someone else's actions, lets move on and enjoy this site. It is a great site with a great bunch of people...

Very true my friend I hope the others you and I talked with find their way over to this site because I will miss their company and insight. I hope I find out where Plains99 moves to because his reviews of new rifles was great. No sales hype just his opinion of how he felt about various guns he tested.

I agree.. Plains99 has some excellent insight to new rifles coming onto the market and also projectiles to try. As I said, there is a wealth of information headed from that site hopefully here.. I guess we will just have to wait.

Good to see a couple of familiar names - just registered here after searching for a new forum that includes discussion/questions/advice/help, etc. on inlines. Gave my thanks to those on another forum who had helped me, a brand new BP shooter, with some quesions, before the inline area of that forum ceased to exist. Hoping to find the same help and patience from those here!!

RE: Will the world end?
I was rather burned with the whole thing myself. I shoot an inline and only an inline. I would even buy a traditional ML if the price was right. I just don't want to be considered an elitist. I mainly shoot archery, and I shoot compound. We have the elite thinking crowd in archery with the traditioal archers etc, etc,...I even have a recurve that I've been tinkering with. I'll take it hunting next year and put my compound up until I get a deer with a recurve. I don't even want to go back to that site anymore. Oh well.

I started shooting a bow with my dads longbow he made in 4H in the early 40's. It finally gave out and I started shooting a Bear recurve. I don't shoot bow anymore but one day may shoot again. The problem was I discovered rifles....
