Muzzleloader newbie

[1juanonewan]

I'm just starting out with muzzleloaders, and I'm torn between going old-school or trying out a modern breech-style. I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this. What do you think?

When I first started out, I went with a modern inline rifle to get the feel for everything. It really helped me build my confidence. Once I got the hang of it, I decided to mix things up and added a percussion rifle to my collection. Both options have their own unique charm, and it really just comes down to what kind of experience you’re looking for.

You can start with a caplock, kinda like the T/C Hawken style. It has that classic vibe that's not just fun but also helps you grasp the basics. It's also sturdy enough that you won’t feel the urge to just toss it into a lake when things get frustrating.

Lots of people kick things off with a modern setup to get the hang of the basics. And once they really get into it, that's when they start exploring traditional gear. No matter which route you choose, you’re in for a good time.
