    I Need Your Advise

    When I started shooting bp, I was advised to try my hand first at percussion because it is more reliable and you can gain experience. The flintlock is more difficult due to possible malfunctions though no ignition by minor defects. I did so and I say, it was good so. But you should not wait as...

    Small flintlock pistols?

    Percussion kits are available in Europe but I do not know of flintlock kits. Does anybody know drawings which could be used to build such a flintlock derringer from scratch?

    In the early years before I took part, we did it the same way. But there were to many who had no chance to win, therefore the modification hiding the target and shooting until you hit the wood. Gives even everybody the same chance. That is jaust for fun. The buddies over 60 aare becomig more...

    tradition honorary targets

    Yeah, that is Bayern, where everything is a little bit different then elsewhere. I like those targets. If you'll have the chance to take a look at the shooting range at Bad Kreuznach, there is a long row of similar targets reaching far back into the past. It is a lot of work, to make such...

    Hello from Germany

    I don't think your German is bad, I think it is rather good. In my case the feeling is I think my English needs much enhencement. Choice of words, grammatics and spelling. Well, there is the chance of reading which is the easier part. Writing requires from time to time the dictionary. Maybe...
