I hate to say it, but if you have a muzzle loader, you have one that will shoot a mile and a half, AT LEAST.

I am shocked at how many totally underestimate the power that firarms have, particularly muzzle loaders.

Do some simple ballistic calcs, and you will be surprised at what you find.

Shooting that far is physics. Hitting an intended target at that range is pure chance in most cases, and apparently hitting an uninteded (person) is chance as well, how very sad and tragic.

Obey the laws of gun safety and none of this happens.
