Traditions® Firearms Applauds Louisiana’s Approval of FireStick™ Technology for Muzzleloader Season
Old Saybrook, CT – May 15, 2025 — Traditions® Performance Firearms proudly celebrates the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission’s decision to legalize the use of Federal Premium® FireStick™ technology during the state’s muzzleloader season, effective Fall 2025. With this decision, Louisiana becomes the 29th state to adopt this innovative technology. Traditions also extends its gratitude to The Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF) for its advocacy in support of this regulatory advancement.
“We commend Louisiana for embracing a technology that makes muzzleloading safer, easier, and more reliable for hunters,” said Alison Hall, Marketing Manager for Traditions®. “We’re especially grateful for the efforts of CSF and our industry partners in helping to drive this initiative forward. Traditions is proud not only to have helped develop FireStick technology but to continue playing a role in expanding its legality across the country.”
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, the company has continued to innovate, introducing in 2025 the NitroBolt®—the world’s first bolt-action muzzleloader designed with the FireStick technology.
Traditions® remains committed to leading the way in firearm innovation and looks forward to continuing its role in shaping the future of muzzleloading.
