AHHH the smoke and loud bangs. It's very addictive. We all tinker and that's fuel for the sport. We all want the best for our guns (children) so we do our best and if that means more guns then so be it.

I know some of you have many muzzleloaders and when I bought my first You all warned me that it gets addicting but I was wondering if anyone knows why it is so addicting? I look at muzzleloaders online almost every day, Every time I go to cabelas or gander mountain, I pick up every muzzleloader and play with em. I have a list of muzzleloaders i need to buy. I am not saying i want to find a cure I am just wondering who has a theory why.

There must be crack in the smoke... J/K I know what you mean. I think it's rewarding to take a gun and figure out what it likes and shoots best. I also like making big holes in things, and I find muzzleloading more challanging then picking up a rifle and putting at cartridge in.

RE: why are they so addicting
Bout 35 years ago, my dad, brother, several friends and I used to go out to this old field next to a railroad right of way and shoot clay pigeons with shotguns. Did this every weekend for a while. Several time these two guys would come out and shoot these .58 zouves at targets they set up on a telegraph post next to the rail line,I loved the smell of the BP and the novelty of shooting that way. I thought it was so cool, didn't know you could still get guns like that. Well that christmas my dad got me a .45 derringer kit from CVA. We put that together and shot it a lot, what fun for a 14 year old. I was then addicted.
Got a double bbl 12 made in India after that, .54 TC renegade (good for shooting cinder blocks for fun) and a 1851 colt repro. all before I was 18. Broke down and finally went inline with an A/H 420, than I got one of their Mountain rifles (shame they went out of business) Now I want to get a flint hawken kit from Track of the wolf.
Oh, those two guys with the zouves. They ended up cutting down the telegraph pole with their minnies and the sheriff closed the site to further shooting.
Happy day to you all, I hope all of you have a merry Christmas, thank God for the birth of our Savior.
