In 2020 we were asked to be a part of the Backcountry Rookies “Muzzleloader March” series as they share insights and history on how muzzle loaders can be used in Western Big Game Hunting to increase odds and lead to memorable hunts. It was great to talk to Chad about the history of muzzleloaders and how they have changed over time. Be sure to check out the full series from the Backcountry Rookies as they plan their custom build with NMLRA Match Sponsor Arrowhead Rifles and start hunting with a muzzleloader. This week Chad talks with Ethan Yazel from Muzzle Blasts about the evolution of muzzleloaders. These guys dive into the origins of the muzzle loaders and take a walk through history to modern-day firearms. Ethan is a wealth of knowledge and explains some of the biggest discoveries that led to today’s long-range muzzleloaders from the discovery of gun powder by the Chinese to rifled barrels from Germany. Ethan even talks about shooting competitions with a muzzle loader. This is a great history lesson, and it leads perfectly into the custom muzzle loader build show next week.
