Traditions Hawken Vs. Woodswalk | Muzzle Loaders in the field

NMLRA Field Agent Ethan strikes out on the trail with nothing but his hunting pouch and his Hawken.

We're on one of the NMLRA "Woods walks" at the Walter Cline Range in Friendship, Indiana this week testing out our Traditions St. Louis Hawken just like the Mountain Men of the 1840s would have. Woods walks are a popular muzzleloading setting for competitors and plinkers alike. Many kinds of wood walk matches are made up of targets of various sizes at unknown distances. It's a challenge with any firearm, but an iron-sighted muzzleloader makes it all the more fun. Add some friends for some spirited ribbing and you are sure to have a great time.
