    Do you display your flintlock or other guns in your home

    I do display my muzzleloaders that I have built. It's my wife's doings. She likes showing them to her lady friends. Seriously...! The other modern guns are scattered around the house. They are in places where they can't be seen. But readily available .

    A fowler for round ball accuracy

    One time years ago I won a woods walk with my smoothie. All I had to do was hit the twenty targets put out. Only to be disqualified later for using it. Seemed the local rifle guys were embarrassed by a smoothie doing so well..! I love my smoothbores..

    Kibler Fowler vs Trade Gun

    Jim Kibler you don't have to explain nothing. Been into Muzzleloaders for 50 + years. CNC machines sense they became all the rage. Spent 39 years in a machine shop and 25 of that in quality control. You have an excellent product. Its just not for me..! But because some of us just like to make...

    Kibler Fowler vs Trade Gun

    That is and has been my point for a long time. Kibler kits are great..! The best out their. .. But I like many others like to challenge ourselves in something more difficult..! You learn..at least I do from making mistakes and fixing them. But to each their own..!

    Kibler Fowler vs Trade Gun

    I hunt with a trade gun. My barrel is 30 inches long and I shoot shot and round ball out of it. For me in the swamps I hunt in. It is a much handier gun than a long barreled fowler. JMPO

    Canoe Gun?

    I have used one for deer. It's 62 cal / 20 gauge. My shots at deer are never over 50 - 60 yards. I use 65 grains of 3 f . Yeah I know your supposed to use 2 f. Well the deer and coyotes have never complained. But I'm patient and wait for the broadside shot. Most drop on the spot. Had a couple go...

    Blanket gun

    There's much conjecture on the names. Canoe or blanket guns, but their is no historical reference about either term. We just know the natives used them. Plus I love mine and I call it my swamp gun.
