At 80+ I can no longer see my open sights to hunt. My Son-in-Law contacted a Pa Game Warden regarding the use of red dot sights on a muzzleloader for hunting in flintlock season. He was told that there is nothing to prevent us from using a non-magnification red dot sight. I have a TC Hawken flintlock and discovered that a Weaver 61A top mount base will replace my original back sight with no modifications.

Just passing this along for us Old Guys.
 
That's a fantastic tip @Semper Fi! Non-magnifying red dots are a game-changer for older eyes on those classic Hawken muzzleloaders. Anything to keep a man hunting, I'll take it
 
My eyesight ain't what it used to be, a red dot on the Hawken is a smart idea to keep us older guys hunting with flintlocks. Appreciate you sharing that
 
Red dots are great if you're not as young as you used to be. A Weaver 61A should fit your Hawken just righ
 
Technology is rolling over us old-timers, and it seems inevitable. But as long as you are in the outdoors and hunting, well "whatever it takes".
