A 1x scope in the hands of an average shooter could double or triple the perceived effective range of a muzzleloaded rifle.
Good luck. That bullet is deadly a LOT farther than we can effectively see through iron sights.
"There are no solutions, only tradeoffs..." looks like muzzleloader seasons will need a trimming once again. Part of the problem is them calling it a "muzzleoader season", if it were "primitive firearm" then it wouldn't have been so easily *censored*ized by all the technology designed for small Eastern farms and MZ/shotgun seasons.I'm currently blessed with impeccable eyesight and I hope when that fades, I can bow out gracefully without demanding a rule change. Same for archery, eventually I'll hang it up and not for a crossbow season.A 1x scope in the hands of an average shooter could double or triple the perceived effective range of a muzzleloaded rifle.
No scopes period that’s my sorry for the guys with aging or just bad eye sight but there needs to be a stopping point or limitation to muzzleloaders and I think having a sealed breach and 209’s should be the end

With the latest muzzleloaders and modern primers you can shoot a high bc (high for muzzleloader bullets) 300gr .45 cal bullet at over 2400fps with easily sub moa accuracy.
I say take anything you can get. Not that often the WDFW gives rather than takes. And while your at it make BPCR legal also.
