    Vernier sight

    I shot some peeps. It was interesting to me how big a peep hole is fine. Most of the time i just left the screw in hole out and shot that way. When you have one shot I believe there was a lot of shooters that used peeps to make that one shot as absolutely good as possible. There was a day...

    FOR SALE muzzleloader bullets

    ebay - It appears that how things are worded on e bay is the trick. You could probably sell 100 round lead balls .36 diameter. Without the word cal, or anything else related to a projectile or bullet or what they are used for. ( I do say probably because I am not sure at all). There was...

    Suggestions for a vice/clamp for working on my upcoming rifle...

    Barrell accuracy.

    This has to do with black powder rifles. Hope that is ok. I studied Gunsmithing at Trinidad State Jr College in 1960-63. we did work for the locals and one job that comes to mind that was very common. Many a rancher or oldtimers grandkid would come by the shop with a black powder rifle of...

    tune your hawkes for throwing.

    I know what the angle will do for making the hawke stick. for sure each has a angle which they feel is best. Also the blade length and cutter width makes a difference. I can also imagine what kind of damage that can be done when the piece was used as a weapon. Very nice photos of very nice...

    Lumber Question.

    great advice. Here in Southwestern Oregon many a young fellow has a mill, chain saw or full up blade mill they take to site of tree and mill it up. Of course the secret there is patience. You looking to put the wood in stock blanks or even for lumber it needs to be kept out of the weather...

    tune your hawkes for throwing.

    found the script. My thoughts on the hawke. Although I learned this from others who knew what they were talking about. Throwing the hawke can be great unless you do something to disable your best thrower. First off you need two throwers as close as possible to each other. I mean feel...
