  • Ethan's efforts at promotion of Black Powder, Muzzleloaders, and The NMLRA are very impressive. Not only the podcast, but also his Videos, website, and social media. There are other great ambassadors of the hobby but it would be hard (at least present day) to argue against the magnitude of his work. Thanks for encouraging new comers and the community as a whole Ethan!

    Just found this show.

    So much interesting information.

    Fascinating historical stories.

    One question: “EE-kooter-mints” ??

    Assume you mean “accoutrements”:

    “Eh-koo-trae-ments”.

    Keep up the good work.

    Awaiting your next show.
