Friends, our 2nd Amendment rights are always under attack and the NRA has been a constant for decades in helping fight that fight.
We have partnered with the NRA to offer you a discount on membership and Muzzleloading Forum gets a small percentage too of each membership, so you are supporting both the NRA and us.

It is a good thing you picked up a couple of ribbons at Dixon's this year cause it looks like somebody else is going to give you a run for your money. I'm sure you wouldn't mind.
All the best

I'm loving this thread. Lots of well thought out replies. I figure squirrel and small game should be a section on it's own. But that is a whole different topic. I purchased a 40 cal with the intention of small game, mostly squirrel and deer hunting. 32 deer in my lifetime with a bow or shotgun...
There is not much out there for us guys in the way of hunting DVD's
An internet aquaintance of mine is producing a series of DVD's that involves hunting with authentic muzzle loading rifles. I have the Flintlock and Whitetail DVD and have thoroughly enjoyed it. (many times) I will be purchasing...
If the regulations state a bearded bird then I would suggest shooting a bearded bird. It would be completely 100% ethical. Your tag, You choose! Live and HUNT by your own standards not somebody elses. Have a good day in the woods, Obey the game laws and sleep easy at night. For me it happened to...
I can see why you fell in love with the gun. It looks real sharp. Some guns are lucky and it looks like you have a winner. Great pictures. thanks for sharing the story.

After reading so many positive reviews I ordered the Frontierssmen Tuesday Night. Received it on Friday. Looks like I will have some enjoyable reading over the next couple of days.

I have never worked with or seen tanned squirrel hide but I have skinned enough of them to offer a qualified comment that they are about the toughest hide running around the woods. It should hold up fine.

I received a kit from a company that is mentioned here a few times. It had about 6 items missing and what I considered a large chip by where the barrel tang would be inletted. I sent it back and received a refund less the shipping. Of course I had to pay to ship it back so I was out about...
I have used caplocks in the past but recently started with a flintlock. Ignition on my flintlock is ALMOST as fast and precussion or even centerfire. I am always amazed at how fast it is. No problem with going with a precussion. Just make your choice for the right reason. I am finding that if a...
You can't explain this stuff to people that don't appreciate it.
The worst thing you can do is shoot something with a flintlock. Once you do, there is no going back. You are ruined for life. But I don't ever remember anyone complaining.

What an incredible adventure.
That looks like a huge cat.
Kinda looks like you are doing a waltz.
If you are not careful, People will start calling you names. How does Dances with Cougar sound.
Seriously. Life can be one big adventure if you are man enough to grab it and it looks like you...
I gave up smoking 21 years ago TODAY. So it is an anniversary for me today. I love pipe tobacco but quitting for me was one of the most difficult things I ever did. I was over a pack of cigarettes a day. I just can't trust the fact that if I went back to a pipe I might go back to cigarettes. For...
I just purchased the series and they arrived in the mail today. I am working night shift so they will have to wait a couple of days. Each of the series is a two DVD set. I also purchased the Hershel House Gun building series. So I have plenty of good viewing on these cold winter nights.

I would love to do that for a week in the fall.
Thanks ever so much for sharing.

I have a rifle by Brian Turner. It is everything I could ask for in a rifle. Looks Great and goes off EVERY TIME. I have posted the picture of it a couple of times. but here it is again for your convenience.
First off, I do not have any relationship with Brian Bechum, I purchased a copy of his DVD "Flintlocks and Whitetails". I have watched this DVD several times. It is a quality product with several blackpowder hunts. Both rifle and smoothbore. Custom Guns, Lots of Smoke and Whitetails on the...
