Its just another gimmick for the guys that want another hunting season but don't want to actually use a muzzleloader. Next year they will probably come out with a muzzleloader that needs batteries.
That's the same reason why I got into tradition muzzle loading.
First I became a hunter, then I got involved in muzzle loading because I wanted another deer hunting season.
I don't see any difference in the reason, besides that the state regulations were changed that first mandated that the muzzle loader be a design from before a certain date, and that only 1 power scopes could be used.
Then they began incorporating more modern developments including higher power scopes into the regulations, as they moved BP season later from Sept. to December.
The first fast twist reproduction guns had traditional designs and were intended for conicals or sabots.
And I would also add that if anyone here has ever read about the Whitworth and other long range civil war era traditional muzzle loaders, they can shoot circles around most all of the modern designs.
So there's really no reason to criticize the reason to buy or use a modern inline.
In my state, we can't hunt with a centerfire rifle on state land, only on private land.
We're a state land shotgun state and muzzle loader season is the only opportunity when most folks without 10 acres of land can have the opportunity to hunt with anything similar to a centerfire rifle.
In that respect inlines are a form of hunting democracy, just like in the old days when only landowners could vote in elections until voting was made universal.
Now hunters are allowed more equality without regard to how much land that they own.
And who needs a Whitwoth or similar traditional gun that can cost thousands of $$$$ and not be as user friendly or able to mount with a modern scope as easily.
It entices the dwindling nymber of hunters and helps control the overpopulation of deer that led to the explosion of archery and its extra long archery hunting seasons.
And some states are allowing crossbows and airguns just to keep people hunting.
The Nitro Fire makes it easier and possibly safer to use, to load and unload for those who can afford it and want the advantage of simplicity without all of the muss and fuss of a traditional gun.
More power to those who can afford it and can benefit from it.
I'm sure that the car drivers appreciate not crashing into deer on the roadways and there's less chance to contract Lyme disease in this area, help stop crop damage etc...
Personally I hope that more states change their regulations so that a legal muzzle loader is defined as one that only the projectile needs to be loaded from the muzzle.
If the states want to allow true breech loaders than that's okay with me too since it creates new opportunities and reasons for people to go hunting.
We need more hunters not less, which hunting participation has been trending downward in many states for years now.
