274 - Muzzleloading Powders and Projectiles with Tony Smotherman
Tony Smotherman is known as the foremost expert in the world of muzzleloaders and muzzleloader hunting. He is also a dear friend and someone that is admired in the outdoor industry. Some of many hats include "director of influencer relations" for BPI outdoors the parent company for CVA, Bergara, Powerbelt, Durasight and Quake Slings.
In this episode we focus the discussion on muzzleloading projectiles and black powders and powder substitutes (Blackhorn 209). With the advancements of powders and projectiles in the muzzleloading world, we felt this show should help the listener decide on which to use and when to use them.
Tony also has had some recent life changes that he shares with us and how his faith has helped him to handle these changes and how he has drawn on his faith to help him through these events.

A lifelong lover of God’s creation, Jon is an avid whitetail deer hunter and outdoorsman. His passion for the outdoors has also led to years of involvement in the outdoor industry, including serving on the CVA Pro Staff team. For Jon, hunting is about much more than the pursuit—it’s an opportunity to slow down, enjoy God’s creation, build relationships, and recognize the connection between faith and the outdoors.
Whether preaching from the pulpit, recording weekly devotions with Christian Outdoors, sharing his testimony at a sportsman’s banquet, or simply gathering around a campfire with fellow outdoorsmen, Jon enjoys connecting with people and pointing them toward Jesus. For Jon, faith, family, community, and the outdoors are opportunities to serve, build relationships, and give God glory.
Jon would love to connect with your group for a men’s gathering, sportsman’s banquet, church event, or conversation about faith and the outdoors. He can be reached at jon@christianoutdoors.org.
