First, this thread has flintlock muzzleloader hunting in it, but it also has some shotgunning in it. It's been a great squirrel season so far for me. It all started a week or so before season opened when I got a text from sister asking me if I wanted my gun back. The gun in question is a 1947...

My wife, the brains and bankroll of this operation,gave me the green light to order a 20 gauge in Maple. I almost did, but I'm going to wait until this winter. It's fishing season for me and my wish list is filled with that. I do a bunch of kayak fishing and even some bass tourney's. I also fly...

After watching the Kibler install video, I have to agree. No wonder I can barely see it and can't hit **** with it. Guess I'll have to flip it around and lay off the IPA's for my next build.

Back in November I ordered the bag kit from Kibler and Rodgers. I finished it last week and I think it turned out good. Squirrel season ended yesterday and I had plans to hunt with a couple buddies behind their squirrel dog. I did a few hunts behind this dog throughout the year and didn't take...

Yesterday, I went out and did a bit of shooting. I was primarily working with my .17 HMR but I brought along my flintlock cause it's fun. It didn't take long and I'd put away the .17 and was just shooting my flintlock. Well, after about 20 shots I pushed the ramrod down on the ball and patch...

It's a challenge for sure and the gun is great, a straight shooter, and I guarantee my misses are all due to operator error. I'm hell on a couple life size steel knockdown squirrel targets out to 50 yards but I whiffed all my chances on live ones so far this year. I took it out a couple weeks...

Just found this thread and I'm an avid squirrel hunter, with this year being my first with my Kibler SMR .32. Season opens up here Sept 15. I was out at first light and promptly missed a black squirrel at about 20 yards, then ended up getting my cleaning jag stuck in the barrel and called it a...

Just ordered one. I told the wife about it and she said order it but you cant start on it until Christmas day. This will be my first leather project and I'm sure it will be a top notch kit if Jim is involved.

Bree is awesome. I had a bunch of questions and she was very prompt and helpful.

My .32 in extra fancy maple. I can't remember what I finished it with. I'd like to add that's not my squirrel in the pic, but rather my wife's first that she got yesterday with a Marlin .22. I've been out with the flintlock a bunch but haven't been able to get my first one with it yet.

I got it out. I posted on here and read 64Springer's response. I then watched duelist54's YT video on getting a jag out and had a plan for today. My wife and I were in the blind this morning, she had an unmentionable looking for a doe and I had my shotgun looking for a turkey. After the hunt I I...

I lost my metal cleaning jag earlier this week and had to use a plastic one today while out hunting. Well, it got stuck. I tried everything to get it out but eventually had to unscrew my ramrod just to get my rifle to fit in it's case to legally transport it home. Any tips on how to get it out...

There's a lot to tinker with in this hobby and what I can't make for my kit, I like to buy from the talented craftsman on this site. With squirrel season opening this Friday I got to thinking about a ball bag and after seeing DM's bags on the forum I reached out to him asking if he could make me...

That was totally my fault. She asked for safety glasses that I keep in my range box and it was at that moment I remembered they were sitting on my workbench. I grabbed them real quick when I was doing some angle grinder work a few days ago and didn't put them back. And we had and used hearing...

Last fall I purchased a new rifle and took the wife out shooting. We'd shot together previously at a family members range but we were just shooting to shoot and there were no targets, just slinging lead into the berm. This time out though, we were shooting at targets. My wife ended up shooting...

Hello and welcome aboard from GR.

Does anyone have any historical references or examples of game lanyards? Squirrel season will be starting in a few weeks and I've been thinking about making one out of leather. Nothing fancy as my leather working experience is just a few little bags to hold flints and etc. I've made them out of...

I actually find this topic to be helpful. I was thinking of ordering a arrowhead (cause I keep looking but can't find any in my creeks and fields) and attaching it to my possibles bag. Still on the fence about it but at least I know I can epoxy the arrowhead to leather.

I may actually have used too hot of water when I cleaned it.
