"Muzzeloading can be a fun and exciting experience for the entire family," said MDC Outdoor Skills Specialist Brain Flowers.
Participants will learn the historic and unique experiences of hunting with a muzzleloader. From black powder safety to selecting the proper load, all aspects of historic muzzleloaders will be covered in the class. Also participants will have the opportunity to fire a variety of muzzleloading firearms.
"Black powder firearms provide a connection to the past while also allowing a hunter to harvest a variety of game," Flowers said.
