Yep, most sensible people do when out in the thick stuff; my Snake Gaiters go over the top of the shoe or boot, securing underneath, then up to just below the knee. They are like the usual gaiters but with an anti-penetration shield as the central layer. There are some Eastern Browns around...

Not today, but yesterday and the day before. I went up to the block to do a bit of scouting for a trip coming up in a couple of weeks. The country is very dry; the deer clinging close to the riparian zones of various water sources. I'll do OK to get a meat animal - there's still plenty of...

Nicely done, lads! You two, in that lovely image, look like you are about to get up to some mischief 🙂. Cheers, Pete

That is a sweet looking abode! Yep. You could fall off that roof real easy. Glad to see you didn't! You can tell that's a muzzle loader's chimney - not much lead flashing around the pipe :D Cheers, Pete

Yep. Literally. Any ailment that surfaced in our small outback remote town, my grandmother and mother would line all us kids up to receive a dousing tablespoon of the wicked stuff. Apparently, it cured everything from the common cold to leprosy! I never got leprosy :D. Haven't used it as a...

Coming along nicely. I see a perch belly there! Exciting. Pete

You have a lot of advice already. For my 54, fun shooting and targets, I use 60gns of FFG, a 530 roundball, a spit lubed .018 patch (pillow ticking), and an overthrow of semolina (about a teaspoon's worth); using the overthrow of semolina, you can be as generous as you want with your spit -...

This is coming along nicely! Pete

As others have said, a round ball is quite capable. Like all firearms of choice, placement with the round ball rifle is critical; match the size of the ball to the game, don't attempt a shot where the outcome is uncertain, shoot within range, use a rest whenever and wherever you can and...

All the best for the trip. Enjoy your own company; let us know how your venture goes. Stay safe. Cheers, Pete

You could have at least got some decent scenery in the first image. Kidding!! :D:D That's some enviable backdrop huh @Machino? Absolutely stunning - makes me want to head out bush. Congrats on the bear too. Thanks for sharing the details of the hunt, and those great pics. Kind regards, Pete

Nicely done! Thanks for letting us tag along! Those trout look amazing, huh? I bet they were fork-tender too. Cheers, Pete

Might be a good view; but I gave up after the compulsory ridiculous advertisements! Pete

Pm sent @Flint62Smoothie. Anyhow for others on the forum ... https://www.taylorsfirearms.com/media/binaryanvil/media_library/PIETTA_BLACKPOWDER_GUN_MANUAL.pdf Cheers, Pete

When I forget my glasses aperture, as in leave it at home, I poke a tiny hole in a small round adhesive backed target patch and stick it to my glasses. No matter how you are built, for a right-hand shooter, the hole to peep through needs to be placed in the upper left frame of your glasses...

Well, believe it or not, all you need is a spare foot sock and a good show on TV while you accomplish the task. Place about 30 to 40 round balls inside the sock. Hold one end of the sock in each hand and rock those little babies gently back and forth from top to bottom. Takes five minutes, and...

Mama said there would be days like these; but sheeeeeeesh! Cheers, feeling for you. Pete

Hi @Encore50Cal! Click on Forums tab at this site, top left of screen banner. Scroll down and click on Shooting Accessories. Scroll down to For Sale, Folding peep. Cheers, Pete

Cheers @Sir Boniface Harrison. Man, that's a cool name. If you were in the Australian Army, you would start out as an officer for sure 😃! Respect. Tomahawk's sight attached to my Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken easily. I simply had to find an ever so slightly longer through bolt and swap it out...
