He jumped in without trying to learn. This is being addressed at the club at the moment. ALL muzzle loader shooters will have to undergo a training course prior to being allowed on the range.

While this is a right royal pain in the 'arris I can quite see why it's being done and will support the move. Probably it's motivated by a combination of pressures from H&E and the range insurers.

It's certainly made me re-examine the procedures that I follow when shooting.
