He works for T/C, he's just pushing product...
When I put down my bow, I pick up a hand made .54 caliber flintlock, shooting .530 patched balls...I can put them in an inch and a half group at
50 yards and have killed deer out to 125 yards...A properly tuned flintlock is light years ahead of a bow...
With an inline there is even more difference...

Last year was my first year with a muzzleloader. I shot a nice buck at 15 yards, open sights, out of my bow stand in rifle season. I use it during rifle season here in NC. It is also nice to be out before the Orange Army slaughters everything in sight here.

I either heard on a tv show or read in a magazine that Greg Ritz said that "muzzleloading was a mixture of bowhunting and rifle hunting... " something like that I think.
Do you agree?
When I first heard this I thought no way, but after I gave it some thought they are vaguely similar yet drastically different. One shot? Yes. "Primitave" weapon? Yes. Attention to detail? Sure. Equipment upkeep? Deffinitely.

Maybe this comparison makes a little more sense if they are using open sites on the muzzleloader?

Greg Ritz is a tool on a whitetail hunting show on espn2 and I believe he is also the president of Thompson Center Arms, or one of the muzzleloading companies,
