Hello,
Are sabots legal to use for Muzzleloader season. Or only traditional Ball and powder.

No sabots and no conicals with plastic bases. You can shoot patched round ball or conicals. Also you cannot have an inline and the it must have an exposed ignition. No fiber optic sites only iron or peep and no "pelletized" powders, only loose black powder or powdered pyrodex.

Thanks,
I have a brother who is coming here for teh ML season. Just want to be sure he has all the facts. My understanding is Inline is ok but it must have a exposed ig.

I could be wrong on the inline issue. I know you are right on the exposed ignition, though, regardless of ignition type.

Thanks,
I have my brother looking at the definition of ML. If he cannot use his I have two. So we should be covered.
