IAB Sharps What do you think?

The only problem with the percussion sharps is that it is neither fish nor fowl.

You can't use it in muzzleloading events (hunting or target), because it is a breach loader, and you would be at a serious disadvantage in any timed event vs a cartridge rifle.

If you have a use for it that falls within its narrow niche, that's great. The one that I had became a wall decoration until I found someone who wanted it more than I. I have no idea what he planned to do with it.
