Having personally fired his own Thompson/Center Encore over 400 times, along with 30+ years experience with muzzleloaders, "Maximizin' Your Muzzleloader for Pin-Point Hunting Accuracy" shares Russell Lynch's excellent insight on what makes the modern muzzleloader tick.

With an unparalleled history of qualifications in marksmanship, Russell has refined his understanding of shooting through his remarkable career as a Nationally Distinguished Shooting Expert, a member of The President’s Hundred, a United Sates Marine Corps Scout Sniper and member of the permanent USMC Shooting Team, along with his present position as a Law Enforcement Marksmanship Instructor.

Russell takes the viewer through all the necessary steps for cleaning, loading and firing a muzzleloader – sprinkled with tons of quick tips and inside information gleaned from years of shooting experience. Nothing is left out or skipped over. And, as always, Russell keeps it fresh and interesting with his woodsy, "Mayberry RFD" style of humor. Enjoyable to watch as much as it is informative.

Thanks for your time! Have a GREAT DAY!!

I guess this could help some folks... just never thought how many times you fired a ML would be a part of an ad campaign, especially something as low as 400.

Only 400? That thing still ain't been broke in yet.

This year ive shot that many rounds through my winchester and i still have many months and bullets to go! My deer creek has over 300 and ive owned in maybe 5 months? My cva flintlock i shot a 100 rounds in less than a month.
You can easily shoot 400 rounds within 2 months. Most of my shooting is just having fun with the rifle and trying new stuff to play with.

I keep track now, not by number of shots down range, but pounds of lead. Big numbers hurt my head..
