Rt,
I am with you! I’m in north Louisiana and have found absolutely no one in this area that even knows what a REAL muzzleloader is much less anyone building muzzleloaders. Not sure what part of Arkansas you are in but when Bill Scurlock use to print Muzzleloader magazine up in Texarkana, AR, he would have monthly shoots on his farm in Texas but when he sold the magazine, he stopped having the shoots. I can not even get any muzzleloading supplies down here. Have to order everything. I too wish there was some form of classes around here.
