    First flintlock Buck

    We had -4 the second morning of the 9 day gun season here at my place. I stayed in the house. The Friday I shot the deer it was in the teens with some wind. Temp dropped a bit while I was in the stand. I used to be able to sit in a tree during cold snaps but can't anymore. Don't know if it is...

    First flintlock Buck

    I've been hunting with the Renegade during the WI regular gun deer season for three years now. I got a doe the first year, a miss the second year and now on the seventh day of the 2013 season this buck. It has been kinda cold this year and I even skipped a few days of hunting cause I can't...

    TC Renegade flintlock

    I have one. I found out about the updated lock and checked to see if mine had been done. Thompson Center said to send the lock to them and they would do it for free. I did and they did. I replaced the touch hole liner with the newer version and use real flints. Everything works just fine. Mike

    First Flintlock Deer

    Well after 50 years of hunting with everything from a 16 guage single shot to a Browning A bolt 270, I brought one down with a flintlock yesterday. I've hunted the last 15 years almost exclusively with a Thompson Center Renegade caplock but made the switch to a Renegade flintlock this past...

    Flint Installation

    I am fairly new to the flintlock and have shot mine a few times. The rifle came with a double ended sawcut stone. This might be a dumb newbe question. I purchased some Tom Fuller flints and was going to put one in my lock and had to stop and take a second look at the flints. My question is...

    Took a Walk

    Thanks for liking my pic. I am playing around with trying to get some good pictures and posting them. I used 85 grains of FF with the same volume of 6 shot. Played around with using a paper tube inside a plastic shot cup over an over the powder wad. Topped this with two over the shot wads cut...

    Took a Walk

    Took a walk this morning to check out some deer stands and to look for some scrapes. Brought the shotgun along just in case there might be a bird or two. Gun has been loaded since spring turkey season. Only saw 4 birds and only got one shot. Have been bow hunting to try to get some meat but...

    Getting Ready for Antelope

    Rifle is a 50 cal. Sorry about mentioning the unmentionable bullets. Won't happen again. I've been using round balls that came with my precussion Renegade that the wife gave me for Christmas years ago. "Remington Premier Golden Lead Round Balls". Figured with a name like that they just gotta...

    Getting Ready for Antelope

    Howdy: Bought the Renegade this spring from a member and am getting ready to use it on antelope this Oct. in WY. Note the fancy range table and pad Had to wait for the range rabbit to get out of the way. Then had to go down and move the box cause grass was in the way. One shot so far at...

    Thompson Center Upgrade

    I was wondering about the T/C flints but decided not to buy one to find out. Now since it is there, I get to try one for nothing. I have purchased flints from Track of The Wolf but haven't had a chance to use one yet. Just starting out with the flintlock and will start doing some round ball...

    Thompson Center Upgrade

    I recently purchased a T/C Renegade flintlock and was checking through the forum for shooting tips. I found out that T/C had done an upgrade on their lock and might do a fix as part of their warranty. I contacted T/C and was told to send in the lock and they would take care of it for me. Got...

    Followup on Jim's first blackpowder buck

    Thanks for all the congrats and messages on my previous post. I skinned and cut up the doe yesterday and am already checking to see wind direction. Temp is up to 14 now and I still have a buck tag. I have been hunting whitetails here in WI for over 50 years and best thing ever was when my wife...

    First Blackpowder Turkey

    Hi: I have had the shotgun for a number of years and have shot a few grouse with it. Even used 20 guage slugs in 12 guage shot cups and shot a few deer. Here in North Central WI we have only had a turkey season for the last 3 or 4 years. I have used a 3 1/2 12 guage single shot for those...
