Welcome to the TMA - the Traditional Muzzleloading Association

The TMA is always free to access: totally non-profit and therefore no nagging for your money, no sponsors mean no endless array of ads, and no "membership fees" ever required. Brought to you by traditional muzzleloaders with decades of knowledge in weaponry, accoutrements, and 18th and 19th century history of those times during the birth our nation, the United States of America.

For the sake of those individuals, I hope the TMA continues to exist for a long time. Thank you to the remaining founders, and also to those who are no longer with us.

Hoping TMA resigns supreme for ever.

Amen to all these sentiments.
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.

Happy to say I have been here long enough to have known all those fellows although not long enough to have known Longknife well.
Rondo is the only one of them left that is here with any regularity.
To one and all of you, thanks for getting this started.
