[QUOTE="Rancocas, post: 5224150, member: 2871"] Well GMB54; you just don't get it. I suspect you never will. You keep harping about long range capabilities. Of course some traditional side lock muzzleloaders are capable of accurate long range shooting. Some were especially designed for the 1000 yard target matches at Creedmore in England. Some, such as the Whitworth Rifle, were used as sniper rifles during the American War Between The States. One of the most famous riflemen of the American Revolution was Timothy Murphy. He was a member of Daniel Morgan's Riflemen and during the Battle of Saratoga in 1777 he is credited with making a fantastic 300 yard shot that knocked British Brigadier General Simon Fraser off his horse. The high tech firearm of those days was, of course, the flintlock. But, all that has nothing whatsoever to do with this traditional vs in-line use issue during muzzleloader hunting seasons. Anyway, we are obviously on opposite ends of the issue. I've stated my piece as best I can, and I see no point in continuing with this thread. It is not important. There are many other current issues affecting our nation that we need to be concerned about. [/QUOTE]
