I think the general public is buying the cheapest muzzleloader they can find, which usually means an import. But at least that way when they don't have a job instead of sitting around whining they can use their free time to hunt. Except that being out of work they probably wont have money for gas, powder, bullets and the like. The general public lost all semblance of common sense a long time ago.
For your info I have a CVA Accura V1, not because it was cheaper but because I liked it better than the others i checked out. I also have an Omega which I will use again someday if my Accura needs repair. It is my backup gun, cause the Accura outshoots it hands down.
Have a good day.

I can only tell you for certain what our group has which is:
2 Triumphs
1 Encore
1 700ML
2 Genesis
1 MK 85
1 Knight LRH
1 Knight Rolling Block
1 Prusuit
1 Wolf
That doesn't include the traditionals of course.
I used to think that a lot of people bought the cheapo MLs but as of late, I've noticed that people are now buying more quality guns. Maybe I have snobby hunter friends

I believe that a lot of first time buyers buy cheap and when they need a winch to pull the trigger and they have to listen to it grate crunch and groan before the gun goes off they start looking for some a bit better quality. The sad part is we loose some good people who walk away in disgust if the first one is a problem.

I bet they do, people in my area MLer hunt, just to stay out longer and only use the gun 3 weekends a year and to pick it up for under 200.00 that would be the choice. but, for anyone that spends time on a range and shoots for fun and hunting, would not waste their time on a Wolf.
For example the link Sabotloader posted only 8 out of 61 on this site would shoot a CVA and at graybeards 14 of 103. That tells the story of what real MLer shooters think of CVA.

We are 6 in our group and only two don't have a Knight.
I have a Knight Extreme,3 have Knight Bighorn,one has a Gonnick and my son in law hunt with my Tradition E-Bolt in-line and he like it.
With that E-Bolt I shot a big 7 points deers with a patch&ball at 85 yards ,dead on the spot.

In our area more people use T/C's by far than any other gun, and looking at the polls on here and Graybeards, it seems like more guys online use T/C's as well.

Hey BP however I don't agree with the way MM made his statement I do agree with his point and supporting companies that employ and use american products it is what this country needs in todays economy.
As far as you outshooting your buddies does not mean you have the better gun (accuracy) just means you are probably the better shot. When all the CVA Posters post up pics of there targets and distances, I know my TC's and Knights outshoot them or at least I can outshoot the shooter.

I dont Care What Anyone Shoots, to Each His Own, but lets Not Assume that Because one Buy's a Less Expensive ML that it's because it's all they can Afford.
Oh and I would'nt mind taking My ACCURA out and see exactly how Good You think You are with Your's. I dont get how one thinks that because it cost more that it shoots better Groups.
