Traditions Firearms Applauds Texas Decision to Approve FireStick System for Muzzleloader Season

‍

‍

Traditions® Performance Firearms proudly recognizes the State of Texas for its recent decision to approve the use of the Federal® FireStick™ system during the muzzleloader season, marking a significant advancement for hunters and the future of muzzleloading. Texas becomes the 33rd state to legalize the technology.

‍

This decision provides hunters with access to innovative technology that increases safety, confidence and reliability in the field. Traditions believes this move will help expand participation in muzzleloader seasons by making the experience more approachable for both seasoned and new hunters alike.

‍

The FireStick system represents a major advancement in muzzleloading. While still loading the bullet from the muzzle, the Firestick is loaded from the breach area. With safety being paramount, this technology provides consistency in powder charges, prevention of double loading, and the ability to remove the powder charge with ease. In addition, users will experience improved consistency, reliability, and accuracy.

‍

Traditions' NitroFire® muzzleloader was the first muzzleloader designed to be compatible with the FireStick system and was introduced in 2020. Since then, Traditions has continued to innovate, introducing in 2025 the NitroBolt®— the world's first bolt-action muzzleloader designed with the FireStick technology.

"We are thrilled that Texas has accepted the technology." said Alison Hall, Marketing Manager of Traditions Firearms. "This is an exciting and important step forward for the muzzleloading community in that state. At Traditions, we are continuing to work with hunting agencies and the broader shooting community to support further acceptance where regulations allow. We're committed to leading the way in firearm innovation, ensuring hunters have the tools they need to succeed in today's hunting environments."
