I live in Nova Scotia Canada. This is second year of muzzle loader season. I picked up a traditions xlt pursuit, less than 250.00 mail order. I picked up their starter kit for 60.00. primers/triple 7 and assortment of sabots for about 1oo.oo I'm pretty happy with start up so far. I have poured over the internet for assistance. This is the best forum that I've found so far, hope to contribute when I get some practice, and put some meat in the freezer. Till then I'll be on here for more tips
