    Need to find nice handmade bag and horn

    Speedy makes a fine bag. If you want a good shooters bag, ask for the deluxe shooters bag. Mine works just great. He will talk you through what you will get. He lives in Edgewater, MD. (No Website) Mike Small makes powder horns that will complement the Speedy bag. Mike lives in...

    Campfire inside a tipi

    Howdy, I size of your fire does make a big differance in the amount of smoke and it does not take much fire to keep your lodge warm. The hard wood idea is a good way to limit the smoke, but the soft wood pine may create more smoke because of the ceasote it produces. You may need to adjust...

    Length of pull???

    Howdy, If you want a mathmatical formula on how to figure the length of pull, Keith Casteel's new book has his way of figuring it. It is based on a right triangle.

    I gotta Idea!?!?!

    Howdy Dutch Bill, Thanks for the comments. If shooters are using teflon for consistancy and they know up front that the bore may have a coating form, then no problem. My point was to bring out to new shooters that there might be a coating form. I, in no way, was trying to put someone down...

    I gotta Idea!?!?!

    I gotta Idea!?!?!

    Howdy, The discussion about teflon being put into a gun barrel and then heated to a high temp. does not sound appealing to me. :youcrazy: I do not want to take a chance on ruining a good barrel with a man made material. I don't know what benefit is being looked for, whether it is ease of...

    camp box colors

    Howdy, If you want to protect your carry boxes, try using a basic color paint like ones in the historic hues. You can check sites associated with Williamsburg, VA. Generally flat paints in dull reds, forest greens, rich blues etc. would be accepted at most rendezvous. If an event is a juried...

    Howdy

    I'd like to take this time to say howdy to the forum. Ive been reading the posts for a while now, and the members give their honest opinions on information about our sport. I hope to contribute in some small way. I've been shooting Flintlock muzzleloading firearms for 30+ years and my family...
