    Le Page on it's Way!

    I second Smokey’s comments about the LePage pistols. I’ve both the flint and percussion versions and either one will provide a wonderful afternoon’s shooting at 25 yd targets. If only my part stood up to their accuracy! Enjoy!

    ML shooting range etiquette?

    At my local range, I frequently encounter smokers behind the firing line. I make a point to let everyone nearby know that I'm shooting black powder, and may have powder open during the loading process, and for them to react accordingly with their smokes!

    You might do an Ebay search for pewter tankard. At present, there are numerous Sheffield, England made pewter tankards that will likely fit your needs and be safe to use, at reasonable prices. Also, Steiff made (USA) tankards should fit safety and timeframe needs.
