    Recoil from my Bobby Christian Fowler

    Bill- thanks for the compliment. This fowler is similar[don,t claim it to be exact] to the Kentucky fowler made by gun maker J.P. Beck around 1781-1811. I believe it would have been seen in parts of Pennsylvania

    Recoil from my Bobby Christian Fowler

    Bill, sorry you got smacked. I agree with some of the others it may be from shooting off a bench. I have a fowler I built that has the same drop and weight as yours and I never notice the kick, but I have never shot off a bench. I shoot either standing or kneeling with a rest of some sort. If I...

    410 ga. for rabbits

    The bore of the barrel I was thinking of using actually mics .430. I was thinking because the gun would be lite to carry would be good to get my 10yr. grandson started in flintlocks.

    410 ga. for rabbits

    Long Hunter like you my first gun came from the only place we could buy a gun [at the local hardware store]. I remember every time Dad and I would go there the hardware clerk would get it down off the wall and let me hold it. It was under the Christmas tree with a box of 3" shells. I was one...

    410 ga. for rabbits

    BrownBear would you have a suggestion for a load in the 410 smoothbore, also can a beagle track a rabbit in snow? Living in the south I have never hunted my dogs in snow. Just curious. Thanks.

    410 ga. for rabbits

    We have to remember I,m talking about a smooth bore with no choke. I can remember my Dad saying don,t shoot at em too close you,ll tear em up. I don,t remember what choke my 410 had. I wish I had have had enough sense to keep it. Thanks

    410 ga. for rabbits

    Like your friend my first gun was a single shot Stevens 410. After shooting it for about 4 yrs. I went to a 22. Maybe I,m being sentmental and not realistic. Thanks

    410 ga. for rabbits

    I have a 62/20 fowler. I,m thinking the 410 would be much easier to handle in brush,crossing ditches,fenches etc. Also I was thinking it might be a good gun to get my 9yr. old grandson started in MLS. Thanks.

    410 ga. for rabbits

    I hunt rabbits with beagles here in dixie. I,m thinking about building a 410 ga. 36" barrel flint lock to hunt with. My shots are at a running rabbit most of the time in brush or heavy grass. I was wondering if anyone has expierence with a 410 they would share with me or would it be a waste...
