Are you interested in contributing to Muzzle Blasts?

Muzzle Blasts is always looking for new contributors. Whether you are a writer, an artist, or a photographer, we’d love to have you aboard!

Muzzle Blasts magazine supports most everything pertaining to the study, history, use of, and competition with muzzleloading guns. Those guns may be historic ignitions like flintlocks, percussions and even black powder cartridges. Hunting with those same muzzleloading guns may include rifles, smoothbores, trade guns, pistols, long-range rifles, inline guns and muzzleloading canons used in reenactments, competition, hunting, building and collecting.

Our focus is obvious - if it loads from the muzzle and the article focuses on its use....we are interested. There is always a need for well-written articles that cover: beginners’ efforts at shooting, rifle frolics, local/national/ international competition (rules and how-to), historical re-enactments, rendezvous, primitive archery, historic arts; the list goes on and on. There is always an interest for unique equipment, adventure stories, advanced how- to pieces, observational stories of encounters with unique individuals.
