Muzzle loading hunting | Davide Pedersoli

Black powder hunting

Passion, tradition and strong emotions, this is hunting with muzzle loading guns.

Hunting activities have always been part of the evolutionary path of man. The implements devoted to the noble art of hunting evolved through incredible innovation, from the first rudimentary cutting tools to the more sensational throwing spears, continuously evolving until todays generation’s technologies.

The incredible performance reached in contemporary years risks to reducing the challenge that always characterized the passion for hunting. Getting close to the prey, handling the gun on the field, the anticipation of possible success or failure. The hunt is anticipation & dedication, it is a journey lived intensively, which sees the conquest of the wilderness as the arrival point.
