[Ryan Ricks · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great book. The writing style is a little dated, though. The author apparently subscribes to the "elegant variation" school. His synonyms for muzzle loading firearms can get a bit tedious. "Downwind shooter" is probably the most perplexing. What is that supposed to mean?

Excellent reference for the beginning blackpowder enthusiast.
