I live in IL, and they just began to allow single shot straight walls. I bought my daughter a CVA 350 Legend for general firearms seasons, but she will still be using her Traditions Buckstalker during muzzleloader season. I will admit, she much prefers the 350 Legend due to the minimal recoil. I on the other hand love all my muzzleloaders equally and only use those during all firearm seasons, but I am in the minority among my hunting friends. As long as there are muzzleloader seasons, muzzleloaders will still be in demand, but possibly not as much in a state like mine where muzzleloader season only lasts 3 days.
