Owners of the Taylor's & Company Hawken Target appreciate the classic Hawken styling and the left-hand-specific configuration, which is still uncommon in the muzzleloader segment. The walnut stock and case-hardened receiver give it a traditional look that draws buyers who want an authentic-feeling percussion rifle rather than a synthetic-stocked modern inline.

At the range, the 28-inch barrel is well regarded for target shooting, giving good sight radius and consistent powder burn. The percussion ignition is slower to load than modern inline systems, and owners who hunt with it note that follow-up shots require more time. The trigger is described as workable but not match-grade.

For left-handed shooters, the Hawken Target fills a gap that most manufacturers ignore. The main complaints center on availability and pricing: left-hand muzzleloaders are a niche product, so prices sit higher than comparable right-hand rifles, and finding one in stock takes patience.
