I am considering buying a subscription for Muzzleloader.

Who among us has a subscription?
How do you like the magazine?  Why, why not?

It's more in step with what traditional muzzle loading is all about at all levels and interests.

I don't have a subscription, but I am seriously considering getting one. I get the magazine when I see one in the bookstore and always enjoy it. It is definitely worth a subscription.

I've  never seen "Muzzleloader " magazine in any local magazine racks but just subscribed on the basis of your recommendations. You, my friends ,  have never steered me wrong.
I'm  not  H/C or P/C or even a particularly  good shot but I have a hell of a good time!

Dedicated to the TMA.

and occasionally there are how to articles from some top notch craftsmen and good history reads, now I must warn you to take ANYTHING you read in an article from Mike Nesbitt with a grain of salt, trust me Mike is all about Mike, he lives here in WA state and I have to go to shoots were he attends them, enough said!

I was a subscriber to Muzzleloader Mag for many years, but in the last year or so plus, my subscription has expired.
Like others, when I see it in Newstands, and something catches my eye, I grab up a copy.
