Muzzle-Loaders Podcast

It was a genuine pleasure to sit down and have a conversation with Jackie Bushman of Buckmasters TV!

Jackie has been involved in the outdoor entertainment industry since the mid-1980s and was one of the pioneers of hunting television shows. We enjoyed hearing about all of Jackie's experience in the outdoor industry and we think that you will too. 

We also were able to talk about all things muzzleloading with Jackie. Jackie has been sponsored by Traditions for several years now and has a tremendous amount of insight into their products. He was one of the first people to harvest an animal with the Traditions NitroFire making him an expert in that area.

Today we are going over our recent load development experience with the CVA Accura LR-X!

Muzzleloader load development provides many unique and exciting challenges. When conducting load development with a muzzleloader, there are many variables that make it more challenging than load development with a centerfire rifle such as consistency of the pack, barrel cleanliness, and moisture levels. All of these things must be accounted for when conducting muzzleloader load development. In today's episode, we are going to cover our recent load development experience with the CVA Accura LR-X. This muzzleloader was a lot of fun to shoot and very accurate. We hope that you enjoy this conversation and be sure to leave your questions in the comments below!

Today, Darren and Gary are discussing all things Blunderbuss including history, kit assembly, and turkey hunting! 

The Blunderbuss is a very unique muzzleloader so it is only fitting that the History is equally unique. When most people think of the Blunderbuss they think of pirate ships or Elmer Fudd but the Blunderbuss is much more than that. In addition to being the ideal choice for clearing ship decks, the Blunderbuss also played a crucial role in settling the frontier! Tune in to this episode of the Muzzle-Loaders Podcast to learn even more about the Blunderbuss!

Today, we will be tackling some common muzzleloader myths and misconceptions!

We are very excited to have Ethan from I Love Muzzleloading back on the show to talk more about muzzleloader kits!

Muzzleloader kits are a very unique part of the muzzleloader community. You can make it as challenging or as simple as you would like that level of customization is what makes it so appealing. In this podcast, Darren and Ethan discuss the more in-depth aspects of kit building for those of you who are looking to jump into the deep end of the muzzleloader world. It is always a pleasure to have Ethan on the show and I hope that you benefit from his many years of experience in muzzleloader kit building!
