FIRESTICK BLAZES ITS WAY INTO MORE MUZZLELOADER SEASONS
Federal Ammunition’s FireStick muzzleloader ignition system has now been approved for use during the muzzleloader specific seasons in 25 states, including Minnesota, Kansas, Pennsylvania, and more. Additionally, several more state approvals are anticipated in 2024.
The use of this new revolutionary FireStick system is blazing the way for new hunters to try muzzleloading. It not only allows for a less intimidating experience for the newcomers, it also has helped to reactivate former muzzleloader hunters to get back into the sport. Many of these hunters had gotten frustrated with the complexities, cleaning hassles, and inconsistencies of less modern muzzleloading rifles. All those frustrations are solved with Federal’s FireStick system.
Federal engineers opened a whole new chapter in muzzleloading technology with the FireStick launch several years ago. This all-new ignition system charges from the breech, yet the projectile is loaded from the muzzle. The FireStick powder capsule is impervious to moisture and built to the same tight tolerances as Federal Premium Ammunition. It is a quick, simple, and safe system for hunters of all experience levels.
