Rifles must be of at least .40 caliber and can be fired using a shotgun primer or percussion cap firing a single slug or ball. Iron sights as well as optical sights are allowed. Blackpowder pistols can be carried during the season, but must be used only for killing a downed animal. So load up and take a trip into the past. Blackpowder rifle shooting is a lot of fun as well as being fairly economical.
Many families spend hours on the range enjoying the boom and smoke of the muzzleloader.
