Absolutely, having access to the knoledge of so many people, with years of experience, makes all of the difference, and helps shorten the novice period, espacally for someone like me, who doesn't really know anyone local who shoots flinters, much.

That really is the truth.  I don't of anyone in my folks' area who shoots any type of muzzleloader, so, when I visit there in the summer, it's mostly self-study.  Being able to come here and get advice from those in the know is crucial.  I am very happy and proud to contribute my annual $15--one of the best investments I ever made!  :shake
