Just wondering how you got this scored target; had you protested the score? Once I put my targets in the collection box, I never see them again.

Shooting at it is one thing, Did he hit your Buffalo? I was 49 points away from a perfect score on da beast. Took out his right front hoof, 1 point.

Horse poop! Relays take long enough without another time wasting process. I’ve shot at many ranges, some with numbered lanes, but have never had to announce my lane. Common sense and consideration for other shooters should prevail.

Since it’s a minie and doesn’t engage rifling (theoretically) until the powder charge explodes, I’d be suspicious. Try different powder grade and grain. I use 50 grain of 3F for Hodgkin and 585213 at 50 and 100 yds. I’ve found more powder does not improve minie accuracy. Try patch and ball...

Spent the day cleaning my musket, Hatfield and Golcher having shot for 3 days in Lenox, Ga. Did a pre clean on the range, but did the final at home. In 3 weeks, they get dirtied again at the NC State Muzzleloaders Championship in Fayetteville, NC. Crosse Creek Rifle and Pistol, check them...

Just got back from the Georgia State Muzzleloaders Shoot held at the Brushy Creek Muzzleloaders Club in Lenox, Ga. ‘‘Twas a blast! Pun intended. A few pics of the loading line, target stations and a video of Forum famous “garypl” shooting for 10x with his flintlock.

Buy a bigger gun safe or one for pistols, one for rifles!

Maybe I’m wrong, but that looks like a patent breech. Get a 22 cal. Brush, wrap patch and solvent on it and see if it goes into the small hole in the center of the breech plug. Youl’ll know if when you withdraw it, the patch will be compressed into the brush and it’ll be dark with crud. To...

Checked out my range box for 2 upcoming shoots, Georgia and North Carolina. Filled both powder cans, cleaning patches and shooting lube replenished. Tomorrow round ball, minie ball and percussion cap inventory.

I’m with group that says shoot it. I bought a Pedersoli Pa. Rifle that had been shot and not cleaned. I cleaned the barrel with a range rod and various size jags and materials (steel wool to Emory cloth). to get the BP popcorn out of the barrel. Even slightly flawed the gun shot fine. In your...

About 4 hrs for me, I plan on getting there 9AM. Got a room up in Tifton Fri/Sat., stopped camping out when I got my DD 214 in 1972. See you there!

Went out and shot this target today! With my 73 year old eyes all I could see was the stripes and bowling ball. Will print and shoot another at some point, first try pathetic at best. You’re pure evil Gary!

Installed an L&R RPL lock in my Hatfield and had the same issue. I emailed a photo of the misfit and was told they’d never had a complaint. I offered to send my original lock plate to them for a reference, they weren’t interested. I also had to file the recess for the drum to get the lock to...

Went to my local Walmart with a pic of their percussion cap label. They can’t even order them in this area. But he knew what they were. A friend scored me 8 tins while visiting West Virginia.

Here’s the brochure for the Georgia Muzzleloaders Stare Championship. Hope some of you can make it!

That’s the route I’ve chosen to take, tuning the lock. The lock does have a fly and a solid half cock.

I’ve gone their website twice since the takeover requesting information. Get an auto thank you for contacting us response, then….nothing.

I recently purchased a rifle, that with a rear action Golcher lock and barrel that exhibits 2 UK proofing stamps. So, I figure it’s an original from the mid 1800’s. It shoots very accurately, but has a single action trigger with a considerable pull weight. Considering installing a single set...

I keep the metal can and pour plastic canned powder into them. Just find them easier to handle and my spouts and safety covers work better.
