    very basic question on "set" trigger

    My first BP deer

    another neat project for a first or unique deer is a deer leg gun rack. My dad shot a buck in 03 that had 3/4 white legs from the knee down...very interesting and unique. I could possibly get you some detailed instructions on how to do it or I think vandykes supply sells kits. it's very fun...

    Lewis and Clark's rifle

    You guys are correct that the rifles were 1792 contract rifles, one more tidbit I can add is that Lewis also had rifles made for trade rifles to the natives, these rifles were smoothbore as opposed to the rifling of the contract rifles, this was to insure that the natives did not have an...

    ? on how to apply lube to patch.

    I was reading the owners manual for my Hawken last night and I never came across a straight answer of how much lube to apply to the patch, it simply warns about putting too much on because it will soak into the powder.

    Just by my first BP and have ? on patch for PRB

    Thanks guys. Now, how big do you guys cut the patches out of the piece of ticking, I was thinking about 1.5x1.5" or so and where do I get the "moose snot" lube or where do I get the supplies to make it. Have you guys used bore butter or is that a thick lube that I should shy away from. Thank you.
