    To go left-handed or not

    Ditto I had to learn to shoot guns and traditional archery left handed after loosing my right eye from an accident. You should wear safety glasses when shooting.

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    We don't have greys or fox squirrels but we have no shortage of reds! My son sells the skins to a fur buyer at $5 a pop and the tails go to mepps. He's probably taken about 50 or 60 this year.

    .62 smoothbore as an all around gun?

    I use a flintlock smoothbore 62 as an all around gun and so does my son. My sons smoothbore has a small rear sight which helps shorten the learning curve for shooting roundball but mine doesn't, it just took more practice. For roundball you will probably have to keep your shots in the 50-60 yard...

    Smoothbore grouse

    Crisco, we're about 160 miles northeast of Fairbanks ( eastern interior ). I have a Crocket 32 kit the kids and I are going to do together but probably won't be able to use it this winter.
