I recently inherited a muzzle loader when my father passed. Thompson Center Arms Hawken. I understand the concept.... but how do I really learn where to get started so I can buy what I need, prep shots, amd SAFELY use this thing? I would love to shoot it and not just let it collect dust.

#1 is make damn sure that it’s not still loaded from last time it was used.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

And when you figure out how to cock that thing quietly and set the trigger, let me know. Haha. I realized immediately that would be a problem.

I built a 50 cal hawken from a kit in the late 70s and have killed a few deer with it. I used to leave mine cocked without a cap when I was hunting and used these rubber caps to cover the nipple. Round balls never worked well for me, I shoot the buffalo bullets in mine. I think they are 550gr.

Take it apart and clean it. Make the hole is clear from primer to load.
