This has the makings of a great idea for a fun shoot!!

I got a roll of jute strapping to repair my haversack. I forgot that jute smells like oil So I’m trying to get rid of the odor I’ve had it sitting outside for a few days but the odor is still there. Would it be possible to throw it in the washing machine? Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks...

I’m glad you’re still able to get out amd hunt!!

Good hunting!! 55 grns of 4 f? Did I read that right? As much as I love deer hunting, I could be very happy spending my day in the squirrel woods!

I’ll add to the misery. A lot of folks credit the daniel boone disney series as the reason for the popularity of muzzleloaders. Then I found this ….

I’m glad to hear you’re still getting out! And I completely agree with what you said about not being able to hunt or get in the woods!

Thank you for the encouragement and good thoughts, guys. It is greatly appreciated. Kevin

Only two for me, for me its a wife and daughter, both being very protective but I can’t say I blame them. Hope you recover quickly from your injuries! Good luck Kevin

Thanks Etipp, I agree with what you said. When the time comes I hope its in the trees on a day like today. I’m going out again as soon as possible Thanks Kevin

4 weeks ago, I had a heart attack. The dr told my family I should not be here. Today I went squirrel hunting. No game sighted, but I don’t care. I am grateful for the chance to go.

I have a .625 punch and made over shot cards from primer tray covers. After trying all manner of set ups I have found that powder/cornmeal/shot and one card to cover it all works best in my gun. One thing seems certain about shot loads and smoothbores and that is that every gun is different

I just got a roll of the “jute” style of this, any suggestions on how to get rid of the oily smell? Thanks Kevin

Congratulations!! Its a great feeling, isn’t it? I got my first with my smoothbore this year also. Again, congratulations Kevin

Cornmeal does leave a slightly sweet smell after the shot. Loading for me is as follows Powder comes from my horn. Cornmeal and shot charge come from paper tubes kept in my bag. Cm goes on top of the powder charge. The shot gets dumped on too of that then the card holds it all in place. Simple...

Its funny how a few extra feet can make such a difference! I started out at 25 yards as stated, and noticed there was always- no matter what combination of card, wad,buffer, or powder- there was always a hole in the middle. So one day my brain said try it at 20 yards and see what happens….would...

A very good friend whom I have deer hunted with for while now got into bp hunting with a flint a few years back. Before that he hunted with- gasp! An inline…..the horror All joking aside he said to me as we walked out of the woods one day, theres something about carrying a flintlock in the...

My best results were at 20 yards I started at 25 but things were just too spread out. So I moved in to 20 and the patterns were much better Kevin

I have been spending a fair amount of time trying to work out a good shot load for my smoothbore. Both are .62 one a fowler the other a shortened Fusil. I have tried pretty much every loading technique found on this site. I have settled on 85 gr 2f cornmeal buffer and 90 gr of #6 shot covered...

Congratulations! Good looking buck!!

Does the plastic shot wad leave residue in the bore?
