Great video Mark. I wish I would have had that video 41 years ago when I became  interested in shooting muzzleloaders. Keep up the good work.

... Stupidly, I updated my computer to Windows 11 and I am totally lost.  To my mind, it sucks swamp water.  ...

Load, or have some kid load the Linux Mint OS beside yer Win crap as a dual boot and enjoy the simplicity and speed and no nonsense.  It looks and feels lots like Win, is free, comes with a full suite of software that's compatible with Win apps.  Though I need to have a Win machine handy for customers, my other 3 machines are all Linux Mint.
