*** IMPORTANT UPDATE***

Lol this thread shot to the top on my feed on page 16.

I replied last year with 90 days, now almost 13 months under my belt.
Still going to ask for a prize if any.

Killed a bull elk with a muzzleloader in 2005. Can’t remember any muzzleloader kills prior to that so that musta been the beginning for me. So I’m gonna say… 20 years.

Got the bug in 1967 when I was 11 and sent off for my first Dixie Gun Works catalog. Saved my money and the following year I bought a brass framed Navy for 19.95. Joined the NMLRA in 1970. It’s become a nice lifetime hobby.

Bought an EIG 1851 Navy .36 from Woolco for $41.50 in 1968. Brass frame. Loaded full chambers and shot it loose in a couple of years and traded for a Remington by Euroarms in .36 cal.. Then a rifle, a shotgun, and I became obsessed with muzzleloading.

It all started with Davy Crockett in the 1950s. Yeah, I am that old.

I am curious how many years of combined experience we have in this group. To make things easier on me to keep a tally, when telling me your time reply like this...

12 years

...and only have the years in the comment with nothing else. Any other discussions are welcome, but anything other than this format will not be counted. I will occasionally post a running total.

I am also doing the same in the Re-enactment section.

48 years and counting.

Not exactly a ‘young’ crowd, imagine that. Quite the ‘surprise’.

You are welcome, please share the knowledge.

60 years.
Also bought an EIG '51 brass Navy first, but in 1964 at "The Gun Exchange" in, of all places, San Francisco!
Those were the days!
Oh and they said use buck shot, chain fired the first cylinder load.
