Today we're talking with Aaron Moystner, a muzzleloading enthusiast with a taste for muzzleloading shotgun competition. Aaron is a lifelong muzzleloading shooter whose grandfather got him started at the age of 4. As Aaron got older, his grandfather would bring Aaron and a step stool to local matches so Aaron could shoot. While Aaron enjoys all aspects of muzzleloading, his current focus is muzzleloading shotguns and competing with them.

In this episode, Aaron answers some questions many of us have about muzzleloading shotguns and discusses some of the differences between hunting and competition muzzleloaders. We dive deep into the different kinds of matches out there as well as the thought process of a competition shooter.
