    The Walker objected...

    Critical thinking and analysis of a situation is inconsistent with projecting onto those who offer other opinions assumptions that those folks are 'petrified' , shooting '12 gr charges', applying 'secret lube' over the chambers , use a 'wooden dowel' to seat their balls, wear a 'welding glove'...

    The Walker objected...

    It is a bit concerning at how some posters talk only about the qualities they project onto the shooter .

    Sharps Carbine shooting rest

    There are several good videos on Youtube where fellas with 1863 Sharps hit targets WAAAAAY downrange with shooting sticks and a lawn chair. I think the common element is figuring out how YOU can shoot it consistently, not how the gun shoots. BTW, the carbine is a good gun but the longer, heavier...

    The Walker objected...

    As soon as I saw the guy start spinning around and going upside down in the video, I knew something was going wrong . Cap and ball revolvers aren't meant to operate in zero gravity. 😁

    what the heck is this thing?

    It's such a handsome rifle , I think dubbing it as a 29 caliber will give it the aura of exotic rarity it deserves.

    How Big ya need …to feel Safe?

    Your .58 is more than enough to hunt black bear, especially in fall when their coats are not as thick. Black bear arent nearly as hard to kill as bull elk.

    Brand ID on Hawken style

    What looks like the muzzle end of a double barrel is the Investarms I in a rounded sides box. I have one of those Cabelas Hawkens.

    How Big ya need …to feel Safe?

    Your biggest and best caliber is the distance between your ears. Do some research about bear behavior. For example, the admonitions to hunt in pairs and finish the job of dressing and packing out a kill ASAP and promtly depart from the kill site is directly related to the fact that urctus...

    Goex Sold

    Kind of a natural link between rocketeering and BP shooting: what can go wrong, eventually will. And then we will post endless wild speculations about why things went wrong.😁

    Trouble…

    This is more fun than liars poker, but all good things come to an end. A) The easiest and fastest solution 1) remove nipple, 2) remove as much powder as gravity will enable through nipple hole 3) replace nipple with Zerk fitting of same thread size 4) apply grease gun filled with cheapest...

    Colorado… bobcat, mountain lion, lynx

    Actually, this is what happens when big money special intere$t$ were determined to be 'persons' whose first amendment rights entitle them to unrestrained political speech aka campaign donations. The Colorado mountain lion mangement program, which limits lion hunting to less than 25% of the...

    Finding /Narrowing My Focus

    Full Disclosure: I'm a 65 yo guy who a) hasnt shot a black powder gun in 30 years; b) is still working full time as a solo business owner; c) has too many hobbies already. My Dad passed a year ago and I inherited several of his guns including three percussion rifles and a cap and ball pistol. I...

    Sleight of hand fast 1858 Remington cylinder reloading

    It's fascinating for a moment but kind of a moot point. Popping your cylinder out to the right only to put the same cylinder back in from the left doesnt achieve the raison d'etre for the easily-removable cylinder, i. .e., replacing an empty cylinder with a fully-loaded and primed one in a...

    Which story is most movie worthy?

    Kings Mountain is a great topic but challenging to present for an audience beyond historians and BP enthusiasts. It has no women and no historic or logical potential for a love story. Truth be told, its a great story about Americans fighting other Americans , both sides equally committed, but...
