Another Newbie from the South

[Greg Walden]

Finally registered for this great forum!

I used to be a "Ky Flinter," but it snows too much up there, so Fla is home now. Just put round 401 through my .50 cal flinter (longrifle) today. Slight breeze, not a cloud in the sky, 77 degrees, and the humidity in FL is starting to go down...

Pleased to meet you all!

Greg

Well, as another Floridian..welcome. I am in Jacksonville and it is overcast and damp. At least it is not the usuall "Windy" hurricane time. That will soon for over...untill next year..... :curse: :shake: :no: :sorry:

Hope you came out ok...or did you miss them eace:

Welcome!! You must have done considerble research to find the bullseye for storms on the east coast.I don't find the humiditity to be a big problem,just need to take more time in cleaning and preserveitives.Florida is a gun friendly State! Our muzzleloaders are only treated as "firearms" if possessed durring a crime.I live in Starke ,not far from Tipis.Looking forward to Your posts. :redthumb:

Hi Tipis,

Please clue me in on the Alafia and the Southeastern in Tallahassee ... I've never been to any events in Florida (only lived here four years). I don't have the full-up traps for a longhunter - I started out 30 years ago in CW and have full-up hard core "stitch Nazi" traps for that, but I got bored with percussion and minie bullets...

Thanks,
Greg
