NMLRA meets with Western Powders |SHOT Show 2020
It was great to meet up with the team behind “Blackhorn 209” at the SHOT Show last week. We talked about last year’s sticker promotion, where an NMLRA sticker directing customers to our website was placed on many bottles of 209, continuing it in 2020 and bringing more promotion to their small company in thanks to their support of the NMLRA.
Western Powders has been a great industry partner for us, and we are excited to continue working with them. Lookout for the Black Horn 209 team on the Muzzle Blasts podcast later this spring.
Modern black powder substitutes aren’t for everyone, but they are doing a great job of getting more people interested in muzzleloading and hunting with muzzleloaders.
The Romance of the Smoke -Longhunter Record Breaking Pronghorn with Eric Stanosheck
We’re excited to announce a new episode of the Muzzle Blasts Podcast this week. For this episode, we’re talking to big game hunter and Longhunter Society Record holder Eric Stanoschek about his record-breaking pronghorn trophy.
In this episode, Eric recounts this record-breaking pronghorn hunt, but also his history with modern high power rifles and his eventual conversion to hunting exclusively with muzzleloaders.
For Eric there is something special about the one-shot challenge of muzzleloader hunting, he calls it “The Romance of the Smoke”. This love of hunting and muzzleloaders runs in his family, three of his four kids and his wife hunt with muzzleloaders.
Having hunted with muzzleloaders since the early 2000s, Eric has gone on 66 big game hunts and has 42 animals recorded in the Longhunter Society program.
For him, hunting and using Muzzleloaders is about the relationship with the gun. Unlike modern firearms, muzzleloaders can be a little tricky, and that’s what Eric likes. He says, “For me, hunting with a muzzleloader is about how close I can get and how much time do I get to spend with the animal.”
