[QUOTE="Wobblyshot1, post: 5088116, member: 9066"] This is from the April "Muzzle Blast" which is the magazine of the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association. You think that old TC Hawken you drag out and shoot on a rare occasion would be exempt....think again. "Greetings Fellow NMLRA Members, As we are entering Spring and the opportunities to shoot, rendezvous and enjoy the outdoors are increasing daily, I hope that NMLRA Events are on your calendar.
