    need to get ahold of Crewdawg445

    It looks to me that you need to start the search as a lot of the info needed is yours. Here's the info they need: If after 7 business days, your mail or package hasn’t arrived, submit a Missing Mail Search Request with the following information: Sender mailing address Recipient mailing...

    need to get ahold of Crewdawg445

    Howdy Pards, I ordered a bow and arrow set from Crewdawg445 and apparently the Post Office has lost it. I need to get ahold of this person to find out if he insured the package or not. Is there a way to send a pm to him on the new website?

    prices then and now

    Wow! Sounds like I got a better deal than I thought when I bought my TC Hawken kit in 1978 for $80 (was on sale for $20 off).

    Traditions Hawken Woodsmen

    I have one of the Pedersoli rifles and it works fine. The lock time is very quick and it always sparks well. I've never had a failure to fire with it.

    MOHAWK

    My wife and I could only get through about 15 minutes of it. I couldn't get past the guy with the steampunk goggles on.

    taking aim

    I tend to bring it up slightly as I aim so I can keep the target in sight as I draw a bead.

    Santa Fe Trail Rendezvous cancelled

    I just read on another website that the Santa Fe Trail Rendezvous in Raton, NM., has been cancelled due to fire and safety measures. Was asked to pass it on.

    Got my tag!!

    Sounds great! How hard is it to draw an elk tag in Colorado? Here in Nevada, they say while you could get drawn on the first year (not very likely) it could take upwards of 7 years through points to get drawn.

    Howdy, I use a .015 patch with a .530 ball and it hits bulls all day long.

    Genealogy experts and accuracy

    I guess I'm lucky as being a "Henkel" I have a genealogy book prepared by the Henckel (alternate spellings: Henkel, Hinkel, Hinkle) Family Association in 1964 which goes back to the original Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel who emigrated from Germany in 1717. He was from the Frankfort area of the...

    FORT SHOOT

    Looks like fun, but I noticed that two of the shooters weren't wearing any eye protection, and the other two were just wearing their normal eyeglasses. Seems to me, you'd want some side protection considering flintlocks going off next to you, as well as frontal protection.

    having some friends over tonight!

    I asked a couple my wife and I know to come to dinner tonight. They are to wear 18th-19th century clothing and bring their rifles. I'll have a cd of period music playing and candles will be our only illumination. For dinner, we're having a catfish stew for a first course, followed by roast...

    Graf and Sons house brand BP?

    Howdy, Has anyone used the house brand of bp that Graf and Sons sells? It's made by Wano and we bought some. Supposed to be cleaner than Goex. However, it seems to be much, and I mean much, harder to clean after a shooting session. Has anyone had the same experience?

    The Men that Made America, Frontiersmen

    This series was filmed in New Zealand. That's why the forests do not look correct, and the re-enactors are not dressed right or carry the right weaponry. Just saw a great documentary on Daniel Boone that was done by a historian over three years using the original places and local re-enactors...

    custom round ball or patch supplier?

    Thanks for the information guys. I might try the paper on top of the patch. Other than that, I guess I'll just have to keep using the patch and ball combo I now have. It really isn't too bad as the photo below shows. That's 10 rounds at 30 yards, offhand

    custom round ball or patch supplier?

    Hi guys, I've got a rifle that shoots really well with a .010 patch and a .440 ball, but you can push the ball into the barrel with your finger. However if I use a .015 patch it's extremely tight, so much so that I think I would snap a hardwood ramrod (I use a brass rod). I would like to get...

    How to assess the % of completion of a kit?

    Thanks for the replies. Guess I was thinking about this the wrong way. Right now, I've only got about 10 hours in this thing, but I still need to fix the warp in the stock, do my finish sanding and apply the stain and barrel brown. No carving on this one. I like the Kibler rifles, but I'm a...

    How to assess the % of completion of a kit?

    Hi guys! I purchased a Traditions percussion Kentucky kit to build for a Christmas present. It's not a bad kit, but has several problems which I am glad I know a bit about building to be able to overcome. The inletting for the trigger guard was about a 1/4 inch short, the lock plate needed to...

    FFF versus FF for Lyman GPR .54

    I have a percussion GPR. I use 60 grains of FFF for target shooting and my rifle hits dead on at 50 yards. However, I might suggest that there may be another problem that you might not be looking at. Since this is the first time you've fired this type of weapon, I'm wondering if your sight...
