Once you get used to it, its not that bad. You have to train yourself to ignore the ignition. Lots of fun I recommend anyone who hasn't fired one to do so...Its addicting
That's my problem. I rarely met a firearm (Glock ) that I did not become addicted to the moment I shot it.
I love the BP shoots, I just won't get too involved because that's $$ taken away from my other firearm interests. I need to get my bailout so I can buy all the firearms I want.
Shooting muzzle loaders is more fun than you can believe. From .32 caliber squirel rifles to 2 pound cannon, it's a blast. But I use caplocks rather than flintlocks for pistols and rifles. I just enjoy it more.
