I switched when I got serious and it as time to buy my own rifle and picked up a knight disc extreme.
the lighter weight of the knight and the availability of .50 cal stuff was a bit more appealing to me. either way if your gun shoots straight and you are comfortable with it, thats all that matters!
having a new fancy rifle doesnt help you find the animals any better.
I am for sure down to meet up and help you get the hang of it though!
love shooting my black powder guns, just dont like cleaning them :chuckle:

Any traditional muzzleloaders shoot at the issaquah sportsmen club? I'm a 38 year old newbie to the muzzleloader world. I picked up a lyman trade rifle in .54 cal. It's used but new to me. I have all the gear to get started just hoping to get some help with getting things rolling from someone with experience. If anybody is interested let me know. Thanks Jason
The trad muzzle club shoots there on the 3rd Sunday of the month. Get ready for some serious wood envy if you go there then. When I was there I shot my inline near them and really enjoyed looking at all the cool guns and techniques they employed. I'm a member and if I get time this month might be able to meet up.

I got into hunting on a borrowed lymann .54 cal rifle actually!
