    Old eyes.

    I have the same problem. I also tried the Merit aperture, but found it heavy enough to drag the glasses down my nose. I recently found www.eyepalusa.com I was very skeptical at first, but decided to try them. I was VERY surprised at how well it improved my sight picture, and bought a few...

    Walmart CCI caps misfire

    From your description, I would guess the CCI caps were a few years old, and probably not well stored.. Unlike black powder, percussion caps can deteriorate over time. CCI caps, in my experience, do as well as any other percussion cap.

    Whichever you can find. I have shot both, but prefer 3F.

    When hog hunting dont go as planned with video

    You don't. You really, Really don't. The Salmonella outbreaks in lettuce from a few years back were traced to feral hogs defecating in the fields. Total crop, and attendant wildlife destruction.

    New member here, looking for a lot of help on gun purchase...

    Entirely my opinion only: Go to your closest sporting goods shop that carries muzzleloaders. Pick up and shoulder a few to get an idea of weight and handling (always keeps all firearms safety rules in mind). See if any one type or style "speaks" to you. I agree that .50 caliber should be...

    Remove the valve assembly from a tire inflation stem, drill a hole in the cap and pull stem through hole.

    Got a bunch of wild turkeys in the area. I pick up a few feathers each year. Crows also.

    Cap Shortage, Update

    IMO, "hoarding" is where you don't intend to use it until TSHTF, while "stocking up" means you actually plan to make use in the near future.

    How many carry non PC or HC knives......

    I use a hand-forged patch knife, most times, but I have pulled out my CRKT Squid when I needed it in non-HC matches.

    New to Blackpowder

    Welcome to the forum. I have an identical rifle, and they are a lot of fun to shoot. There is a different learning curve with a flintlock than a percussion, so be prepared for some frustration along the way. Before you start shooting, be sure it is not loaded. Take the ramrod, and lower it...

    Hello from Nottingham in the UK.

    Welcome from California, where our laws can be as bad or worse than the UK, but we still enjoy our black powder shooting.

    Help me choose a smoothbore at auction please

    If it were my choice, my first thought would be : Which one would I want to shoot? and the answer would be the 10 gauge flintlock.. To me, the others would just be wall hangers.

    Ramrod for loading in the field...

    The ramrod that comes with most production muzzle loaders is like the jack that comes with most automobiles: Barely adequate. The ramrod that comes with the rifle is usually just long enough to reach the bottom of the barrel. This leaves very little rod to get a grip on. If you must use the...

    T/C Patriot suprise

    I have two patriots. The weak spot in the stock is wrist-tang area, as most pistol loading stands only only brace the muzzle and the heel. Ramming a tight ball down puts extreme stress in the unsupported wrist. I made up a very crude stand that has additional support for the wrist below the tang.
