Muzzleloaders have come a long way with the introduction of the Firestick. Now, hunters are able to run their guns more quickly and reliably. Acceptance of this technology has slowly grown in states across the country. Today, Traditions Performance Firearms proudly recognizes the State of Texas for its recent decision to approve the use of the Federal FireStick system during the muzzleloader season. This marks a significant advancement for hunters and the future of muzzleloading. Texas becomes the 33rd state to legalize the technology.
Texas Approves Traditions Muzzleloader with Firestick – A Better Hunting Experience
This decision provides hunters with access to innovative technology that increases safety, confidence, and reliability in the field. Traditions believes this move will help expand participation in muzzleloader seasons. It will make the experience more approachable for both seasoned and new hunters alike.
The FireStick system represents a major advancement in muzzleloading. While still loading the bullet from the muzzle, the Firestick is loaded from the breech area. With safety being paramount, this technology provides consistency in powder charges, prevention of double loading, and the ability to remove the powder charge with ease. In addition, users will experience improved consistency, reliability, and accuracy.
