    First time shooting issue

    It is a brand new Lyman Deerstalker. I plan on shooting again in drier conditions to help narrow down the issue.

    First time shooting issue

    I took my deerstalker to the range for the first time tonight. I was shooting 60g of 3f. It was cool and very humid with some occasional drizzling. The issue I was having was frequently not getting the pan to ignite. When it did, it shot fine. I had to keep wiping the pan due to a bit of...

    Safety tips

    Ok. I am really excited about getting to shoot my muzzleloader and get hunting with it. First order of business. Safety! I have seen a few things like leather frizzen covers and some other recommendations for safe hunting and storage of guns used for hunting. Do I pull the round ball and empty...

    First flintlock necessities?

    A couple other things. I noticed my vent pick is too big for the hole. I guess it needs to be filed down to a sharp point to fit in there. Also, I have another initial cleaning question. Do I take the locking plate off to clean any packaging lube? I was a little nervous about doing so. I don't...

    First flintlock necessities?

    I picked up some real 3f black powder today. I wish I would have read more and followed some directions about cleaning the barrel before assembly with carb cleaner to get the preservative off. I don't want to remove it too much. I will just use some regular Hoppes stuff I have and see how it...

    First flintlock necessities?

    Ugh! I was told at Cabelas that was real black powder! Everything else said substitute on it and FFF equivalent. This bottle did not. I drove an hour and a half for it.

    Here is what I picked up. Pardon my Irish setter's butt caught in the pic. He wasn't waking up for anything. [/URL][/img]

    First flintlock necessities?

    Thanks everyone for the helpful information. I picked up most of what was posted. I did have to make due with what Cabelas had available for now. Round balls were only available in .490 and the was no 4F. I will post up what I got tomorrow.

    First flintlock necessities?

    Starting from scratch. I have always been into archery, but hurt my back so I can't climb trees right now. I sat out this archery season and I'm going crazy sitting around.

    First flintlock necessities?

    I plan on picking up my first flintlock today. I really know nothing about them. As with any hobby, there is a lot of useless stuff out there and some things I should not be without. I plan on picking up a Lyman Deerstalker in .50 cal for Pa's flintlock season. Do I try and find real black...

    Help school a rookie!

    Thanks for all of the valuable information. The gun I am looking it is 50 cal. I have to go flintlock because PA has a flintlock only season. I am sure down the road I may want to upgrade to something more authentic. For now, this model is appealing because of the fiberoptic sights and it is set...

    Help school a rookie!

    I am new to muzzleloaders. I have never shot one but I am interested in extending my hunting season. I dove head first into archery a few years back and love it. Adding a muzzleloader will give me a bit more variety and allow me to choose and area and weapon depending on conditions. I plan on...
