answer... reliability

"I agree that the way the shoot program is communicated needs to change to make it easier to get oriented." Bingo!! You are dead on! Thats how I felt ....Thank you for putting it into words. Was not looking for appreciation..Did not feel welcomed at that time. Hope things have changed...

Ok Let me ask this again... why not start with a fresh load each day???? There are pages and pages of misfire stories from loads left in barrels overnight. Why tempt fate????

I was there to shoot for fun..... Just relaying what I experienced that day. If this is what competitive shooting is like..No Thanks... no wonder its hard to recruit new members....all reasons not to return. Do not need Friendship to buy powder or shoot. Really enjoyed the vendors..that made my...

Went to Friendship couple years ago to the spring shoot..10 hr drive Just had to see what it was all about.. Had to join to shoot..They took my money with a smile. Did not get a warm fuzzy there..I was dissapointed. Would recomend for a first timer go with someone who's been there. Now I use my...

Looks good! at 50.. Will you bump up the powder for final sight in? Now take it out to your sight in range... :hmm: Why are you temping fate with cold to warm condensation???? If the is no mositure under the mink oil on the barrel you'll be fine. All bets are off with the mositure and powder...

The gun was nasty because your first post was 12 days eariler..Go Figure. Hope your bore is still good. 12 days is too long to go between cleanings.

You want eye candy here you go! search member "Skychief" find his topic........ "Show us your flintlock squirrel rifles!" (Topic#245355) Take your time think it through...Southern style lends itself to squirrels. That rifle in Pic was a GM 42" Goldenage swamped. started as a 36 cal had...

I'm with Spike..Keep gun and wife! Now take some pictures with the sun at your back!

Ouch!Just think how much big they will be when they come trotting by next time. Been there,dropped the hammer on a 54 cal.dbl rifle... cap went off no boom. deer trotted away,recapped pointed at the nearest tree and kaboom. 1 hour later the deer came back and I double lunged the big one. That...

Tennessee-southern blend.42 ".A "weight barrel ash stock.Tip Curtis built) This one is in 32 cal.1-40 twist. small peep on tang..Gotta love a 42" sight radius. also..Dave Keck at Knob Mountain muzzleloading has over 100 different stock patterns to choose from...Give him a call ... He also...

This might help.. Search "Roundball" Here's one of his FYI posts a good one! Post: Old Style - New Style T/C Flint Locks (Topic#238302)

Stumpy..Isn't there a poem wrote about this subject somewhere?????????

condensation also forms inside the bore...if you load is not sealed tight..damp powder happens. When hunting big game its a new load each morning..why chance it?

Silly Goose..Thats Great! Now you get to buy two of everything. :thumbsup: I suggest you find replacement handles for the hawks if your throwing more than one at a time. Especially with a new thrower. Pretty soon you will be throwing 2 and 3 spin hawks. Enjoy the moment..

Beautiful drake Brits!..Atta-Boy! Teal and wood ducks are my favorite table fair.

My take on a 40 cal. for deer.. bump up the powder charge, use a hardened roundball(pass through). limit your range. Perfect shot angle-placement. The 40 cal. I shoot is a tack driver..a confidence builder for sure. Good luck..Shoot straight.
