    Lodges/tents

    I like to start on this here forum. I am starting to refine my fur trade image, but not so much as a trapper. I am going to guess that the ol' wedge tents and wall tents would be appropriate for Rondy's.. I do like teepees, though.. I have never owned one nor have I ever set one up.. I can...

    Back from the Hunt

    Got back Sat night from nine glorious days in the mountains. We set up our hunting camp in the Tarryall Range at about 10,000 ft. We all had buck tags and I had a bull tag. We hunted all over that range for the first two days and saw nothing, plenty of sign. Noon on the third day we were sitting...

    English Game Gun

    I have had good shooting with Caywood flinters. I just sold a Wilson. My question would be,, The Caywood English Game Gun,,, Does anyone have any thoughts about the time frame/historical accuracy of that particular piece. I like the thought of the 30 inch barrel that it comes with.

    Mortimer Rifle

    I suppose these Pederoseli(spelling ??)rifles are like ex-wives to some men. The ex-hubby hates them but the new guy who's doin' her swears she 's good. LOL LOL LOL

    Mortimer Rifle

    Does anyone know anything about the Mortimer Rifle, ie: time frame, cal.'s, geographics/demographics etc. Since I have been muzzleloading for almost 20 years and reenacting history 13 years or so, I have always tried to be different. So I am always attempting to find the firearms that are not...

    Back to the jaeger question

    I kinda figured this thread would make for some interesting thoughts. And there has been very interesting replies. I do like this forum.... It was thought provoking when I read the "report" of Europeans hammering their RB's. But then again, early firearms were just that, early technology that...

    Back to the jaeger question

    Again, "in what little research " I have done. I read that the European Jaeger shooters used a mallet to seat the roundball they were using. Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't that sort of make it into a conical projectile ??? I will be doing test shooting in a bit and I will try conicals...

    Dixie Jager

    I wish to start off by asking any who are offended to forgive me. AND I truly appreciate all the knowlege and expertise that was shared. I got my DGW Jaeger kit yesterday. I like it and as far as I am concerned it is a representation of a flintlock rifle the was produced back when. Becuase...

    Dixie Jager

    To the Ghost reply. My main question for you would be,,, "How many of your fine pieces that you shoot were made STRICTLY the way pieces were made in the 18th century"??? Most people I know don't have pieces that were made in 17 whatever. Research also indicates that due to the technology of the...

    Dixie Jager

    I just ordered a Dixie Jaeger Rifle kit. Fits in my budget. I do not have the skill it takes to build a TOTW kit or a Pecatonica kit for that matter. My research indicates that the DGW Jaeger kit is as "PC" as any. There were many styles of Jaegers from all over that part of Europe. There are...
