As bad as I shot today at the range w my muzzy, I might have to go with modern this year!! Couldn't even hit the target at 200 yards. Had in the past, not sure what's up. Probably just me.
Most over estimate there ability on shooting a muzzleloader. Just find your affective range on an animal and stick with it. If that means around 100 yards I'm confident in then that's how far I will shoot. 200 is way too long for most with open sights so nice to hear someone admits the truth on their ability to shooting that far.
That being said seasons are getting better for muzzy. Closer in the rut. Seems more so than archery anymore. Limited areas because the success they have within a short season with fewer hunters. It does make the areas open pretty crowded though.
