@KIt Take a close look at the Pedersoli Side by Side Slug gun. It is a smooth bore 12 ga that is capable of taking any large game in North America. It can also be loaded down with shot to take birds and small game. I’m saving to purchase this gun myself so yes, I am biased, but I believe it can...

Welcome from Houston…

@JamesA I’ve read through this entire thread and want to say you’re not experiencing anything unusual shooting true black powder. As you’ve already learned, black powder fouls much more than any of the substitutes you can use. You stated you like the accuracy of Schutzen but dislike having to...

Right hand shooter… Possibles bag on right, knife on left… rifle carried in crook of left arm (if hunting alone). If hunting/walking with someone else, rifle carried on sling or in right hand with muzzle pointed down.

I used Fiebings Dark Brown leather dye followed with three coats of Birchwood Casey Tru-oil. I used the same dye on the stock and the holster. After completing this build I have wondered if I would have gotten more even coloring by putting one coat of Tru-oil and then the leather dye, followed...

@hanshi Thanks….and I think your signature is right on the mark!!!

@Timber Wolf Get out there and exercise them!!

When that “till death do us part“ thing was originally implemented, the average life span was less than forty years……

Yeah….that’s why I don’t duel!!!

Thanks, I don’t consider myself a wood worker by any stretch, but with help from this forum and going slow it came out well.

@.36Rooster Next time out I will try your suggestions!! I agree that 20-35 is the sweet spot and probably close to 30 as you mentioned.
