Peeps telling you about 200+ yard shots.. be cautious, if you're thinking about using that as a measure. 200 yards is a long way with a muzzleloader. Don't count on it.

RE: how fardo you shoot a muzzleloader
Whats that noise? Oh, its just my BS detector going off. Keep it to 100 yards. these things drop like rocks when you get em out there. Guys think that long shots mean they are incredible hunters. It means they suck because they cant get any closer.
