    Col. LeMat’s Grapeshot Revolvers?

    To All, Fwiw, cavalrymen of TWBTS (especially mounted troopers of the CSA) often "sawed off " double-barrel shotguns into "pistol-like weapons" that were DEADLY fired from horseback & from "fairly close" to just outside "saber range". = At 10-15 yards, a blast of 00 or smaller buckshot into the...

    Anyone hunt Coyotes with their muzzleloader?

    We have the "hulk" of a 1949 Dodge 4door on our farm that seems to attract coyotes/coydogs/foxes/feral dogs, like honey attracts bees.
