I don't have the answer. But if we're going to limit it to flintlocks, why not limit it to bow only. And if we're going to limit it to bow only, why allow compound bow? Make it recurves only. Where is the end?

This seems to be an "in-line/modern BP gun" vs "flintlock" discussion more that questioning the reason for special black powder seasons. To that I say shoot what you like, and have fun doing it.
