Don't know who far South or east you are traveling but we have a couple of monthly black powder club shoots here in Central Oklahoma. Guests are welcome during these shoots. Mostly older, retired men and women so you would fit in. I'm not retired but close with 47 years with the Power Company. I...

That is a great find. You did well. I helped set up a friends .50 Hawken with the LRH barrel using the Hornady Great Plains bullets and it liked 80-90 grains of 3F and he used this for hunting whitetail for several years. On the Hornady Great Plains bullets they come with a type of wax lube and...

Outstanding! That is some great shooting! Looks like you found the right combination for your flinter. Now it's time to put some meat in the pot. :ghostly: Do you know what twist your barrel is? I load all of my muzzleloaders with a pretty tight ball/patch combo. My target flintlock has a .54...

Dang, that is a beautiful rifle! Too bad I'm not left handed. That:ghostly: is what I've been looking for a while. Great deal. Mike

Thanks. Do you know or heard of Rod Gates in Sedalia, MO? I shot muzzleloader matches all over MO, Arkansas, OK with him. He builds some nice rifles. Mike

Where is this shipping from? Just wondering if it is close enough to make a road trip. Mike

Congratulations on the draw tags for everyone. I got two tags, archery only in Kansas about two weeks back. One either sex and one antlerless. I like the archery due to the season is from Oct to Jan 15th. If you don't fill you tags in 2020, they covert to antlerless only and only in certain...

On my smooth bore fowler and shotguns I just put a little bit of 4/0 steel wool around a cleaning jag with a little Break Free Lube and polish the bore. I also do the same on rifled barrels if my friends let them rust a little. It cleans them right up. I made a punch and cut some heavy leather...

Do you have any photos of the rasp or marking on the tang? I spend a lot of money on pattern makers rasps and some from Japan for making bows. Never heard of the Shinto. Mike

Eterry, those 40 Cal conicals you made for me are wicked! I put that drop in Green Mountain .40 barrel on my Hawken just to see how it would shoot. With 70grn. of 3 F it would stack them at 50 yards. The next week I took a coyote while messing around shooting some round ball and those conicals...

That is a fantastic smoke pole. Love the grain of the wood. What lock is that? I really like the way it looks on that rifle. Good shooting. What brand of barrel did you use? You have done well, Pilgrim! ;) Mike

I have a question about using shotguns. Do you use lead or copper shot in your front stuffers? I have a Double Barrel 12 gauge I built in the early 80's and used #7 shot for "Trying to bust" clay bids and did shoot a couple of dove after about 20 shots. I hunted turkey once and bought a box of...

Welcome Chemman from Oklahoma. Beautiful photo! I spend a lot of time in the 4 Corners area around Delores & Mancos hunting and fishing. I hunt about 40 miles north of Dolores on Groundhog Mountain. Great state to ride my BMW Motorcycle to for fishing, camping and just hanging out. I made a...

That is beautiful wood and grain. In 1995 I found two pieces of what the person called fish scale ash just like the one in your rifle. My friend and I built a .62 full stock hawked with the first piece and it has served him well for 24 years of hunting, some target shooting. It is almost the...

I have several hawks. Where do you get the curly maple or hickory handles? Mike

Welcome Wes Noon from Norman, OK. That is a great looking rifle. Looks like it would balance well for hunting or plinking. I had one of those Wesson Rifles back in the late 80's I got in a trade. Someone, I think a guy in El Reno, OK changed out the barrel with a Bill Large barrel in .54 Cal. It...

Not smokepole photos. New Computer and haven't downloaded flintlock photos of turkeys. These are with my primitive self bows and homemade longbows and recurve.

I have a two band Zouave with three groove rifling. I have been shooting this .58 for 39 years. I have only used one bullet. When I purchased the rifle from a guy in TX he gave me a peanut can full of these and had mold number written on the can lid. I ordered one from the Track back then. The...

That is a great shot with a revolver, especially when you are jacked up with a deer standing under you. I have been shooting my Ruger Old Army with some conicals I got from a guy online. They are 245 grain, 3 grease grooves and each groove is smaller so it loads easily in the cylinder. I shoot...

Outstanding! Great buck. Probably didn't have to track it far with it not having any front legs. ;) Great shooting. That is a toad. I sure miss hunting mule deer. The last one I got was with one of my primitive bows around Dolores, CO back when you could by over the counter tags. I would have...
