    Can you get 3 aimed shots a minute?

    I do about 3 shots in 10 minutes or so. Don't really know. Don't care either. I'm never in much of a hurry when I go shooting.

    Newbie questions - inletting a swamped barrel

    By the time I finish the gun I forgot where I had to fill in the gaps. Nobody seems to notice them. That means they don't exist anymore.

    Any other crazy kids out there?

    Me and some other kids got the idea to shoot arrows straight up in the air and try to catch them on the way down. One of them had to show off and did it with a broad head. It went right through his hand. Did girls do any of this kind of stuff? Make you feel sorrow for the guys that grew up in...

    Breech-loading hand gonne from 1480

    I would not cast that. You would do much better to work from a piece of bar stock.

    Kibler side effect?

It takes a huge amount of time and skill to create the 3D models that the equipment uses. Eventually someone else is...

    Most affordable smoothbore kit

    Building from a blank is cheaper than any kit. You are not limited to just what is available. You can build anything you want to. Best of all, building from a blank is a lot easier than from one of the kits with a pre-carved stock.
