I'm not talking about it happening now. Inlines are way to popular now. What I was talking about is long before inlines were invented the muzzleloader season was a primitive flintlock season. In other words when you first started to think about hunting with a muzzy. If a flintlock was the only option. Would you use one to get an extra season? I know the die hard traditional hunters would love it, but would the ones who were attracted to an extra season because of the ease of the inline still do it if there were no inlines?
There never would have been inlines if there was no season for them.

Here' are two follow-up questions for the "No" guys. (stevell, GM54-120, TripleSe7en, bestill, jcb, ENCORE50A, jims)
Not trying to be a smart ass or anything, just wondering.
1. Have you ever shot a flintlock?
2. Do you often shoot just for the fun of shooting (plinking/target shooting), or pretty much primarily just for sighting in and taking game?
Lee 9 said:When I started out a Hawken style Flintier and a long bow is what I used. I prefer percussion, but would build a flintier if I needed it for hunting, I just do not prefer them. I would never go back to a wood long bow even though I still own my original, I just do not have the muscle power as I am approaching 80. What I would do is if they pushed that is start a class action for discrimination against the elderly.
