It seems like a lot of trad archers shoot long guns too. I still shoot longbows and self bows and now have switched from percussion to flintlock.

Wheellock, matchlock and Atlatl coming next…

I have a A/C sep 3 on the right and 2 on the left.
My adjustment was to go from 54 cal to 45 cal.
Can shoot all day long.

Nice Work! Let us know how it shoots.

Welcome from NJ. The rifle looks good. You don't need heavy loads. Lighter loads give less recoil and they won't hurt the shoulder. I had my right shoulder repaired and i can shoot for long periods of time with light loads.

Welcome from very Northern California!

Beautiful rifle you've built there, can't wait to hear how it shoots.

Don't know much about archery, but got a 'clutch' of older bows from a pal couple years back: a matched hickory pair, self-bows, one is a long bow, the other is a recurve, look like a matched set; another has a decal; it's from the Archer Co., in NC, where they make the furniture, I forget the town but it's famous for the furniture business. There was another one or two in the bunch but they appeared to have been stored many years. The guy I got them from is a 'scrapper' and picks up much metal from auto shops, etc., whose owners seem to always have or like firearms and such!

Welcome from Georgia! I learned to shoot a bow using an old longbow! Archers and B P shooters have much in common.i
