Hello from Maine

yooper2 said:

Good morning all! New guy here living in Mid Coast Maine, originally from the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan. I've been shooting muzzleloaders as long as I can remember, my first shot with any sort of firearm was from a .40 chunk gun my grandfather was supporting on his shoulder. My interests are pretty varied, I hunt upland birds and waterfowl with muzzleloading shotguns, get a lot of joy from cap and ball revolvers and rifle muskets, and I think longrifles are the most elegant firearms ever made. I've built one muzzleloader (not from a kit), a half stock .32 cap lock and do a lot of repairs/make small parts to get old guns shooting again. I'm looking forward to sharing my love of these guns and learning more about them.

Greetings!

I second the Ancient Ones. We're a quirky bunch, but we have fun, and nobody leaves a Geezer Shoot hungry!

What part of mid-coast? I'm in Brunswick.

Just as a point of reference, Surry is not in the Mid-Coast region, but Acadia-Down East. Absolutely beautiful area, love the ride down to Stonington.

Are you into historical stuff? I could share some things in your area on private messages if you are.
