This is the most active ML forum I've found. There are 2 others I visit, but only around hunting season because otherwise they are deserted. You guys are year long, dedicated muzzleloading enthusiast. I mostly lurk to soak up the info. I appreciate all the hard work you all do. Take care, Greg

You're right about that gt. The other thing I like is that HNI is not anal about keeping on topic. We can get a little loosey goosey (fish pictures, etc.) without having posts deleted or being censured.

I agree with you bronko22000
I shoot a crossbow also and I find a warmer welcom from crossbow shooters than vert bow shooters some of which have a big problem with xbows,just seem to be more helpful.

I have to add my thanks here too.I learned all that I know about our sport here .
And learned it more pleasantly than reading books or other websites.
HNI ROCKS

Not to continue the hippie love fest too much longer , but I also want to thank everyone here for all the great advice. I started shooting muzzleloaders about 2 years ago, and I learned pretty much everything from guys on this forum. Keep up the good work!!!

Me too, I've only been shooting MZ's about a year and a half. I allready know everything there is to know........ But I'm still a good listener and reader

I admit I don't get here to much this time of year, girls in my life just keep me hopping from March till November most times. Speaking of girls, I was new to the internet and wanted to learn some things about the girls so I joined a forum. A moderator (we have them here?) told me to buy two books and do a search on the internet before I asked any stupid questions. He didn't list the questions that were stupid so I bought 12 books and told the guy I bought a bunch of girls from to keep his stupid plack saying I was a beekeeper. I am to this day a gardener who has bees.
As for this place I now shoot my T/C Hawkins because a member (LongBow BowHunter)here sent me a T/C tang mount peep site for it.
Can't forget that there fellow in NewIdeaHo, Sabot loader, conical loader or what ever he is going by now. I have so many MMP green 50 cal sabots he sent me I don't believe I'll be buying any in the near future.
And the 54 cal MMP purple sabots for the 50 cal gold dot HP my 54 cal Remington likes so well is a result of another ship ment from him.

YUP a great place to learn, and make friends.
