I belong to a sportsman's club locally so I have a range to shoot at but I'm the only flintlock builder/shooter here. I've attended the Alifia Rondevous three times but never competed and Alifia is about three hours away.

Would that be the Hernando Sportsmans Club?

Welcome from Fairbanks AK! A build or two is on my list too. Hopefully be some time between getting caught up on other projects and kicking the bucket after I retire. You just need to come back to Alaska. We need more traditional muzzleloader types here. Our muzzleloader club here in Fairbanks kind of died out.

Sorry to hear that the old “Moosehiders & Muzzleloaders” died out I went to several of their events years ago out on CHSR where I lived. After 34 years we came south to reconnect with parents and relatives. We still have children and grandchildren,mostly in Fairbanks but one is coaching at UAA in Anchorage. I miss Alaska every single day but we’re settled in here in Florida now and a flight north is an ordeal for my wife now. So we’ll probably just stay here as long as I can tolerate lower 48 politics.

Yes it would be. I understand they had a muzzleloader group in the past but not that I know of now.

Welcome from Ormond Beach, FL. You were fortunate to live in Alaska as long as you did. Wow, what a difference in temperature and landscape you have now.

Welcome from NC. I spent lots of time in AK over the years.

Thank you! I live in Florida now but I have a sister and a nephew in the Wagram,NC area and I spend July 4th and Thanksgiving up there every year. It sounds like the Fayetteville area is a place I’ve got to visit when I’m there this Thanksgiving. I’ve been planning to go to Asheville but haven’t made it yet.

I loved Alaska and miss it. I hate the heat this time of year in Florida since I moved north from the Keys where I spent most of my time spear fishing. Indoor projects now.

Welcome from grizz country in Alberta.

Alberta is beautiful. I came through there a couple times. I bought some genuine babiche there years ago for a dogsled I was building.
