Maybe everyone already knew about this , but I just learned of a new magazine called "Buckskinner Magazine"....shiney paper...color photos....looks interesting. Check it out at www.buckskinnermagazine.com. The names of the people involved didn't sound familiar to me but some of you may know them.....as a matter of fact; some of you may BE them! :hmm: I sent them an email asking if space guns (in-lines) would be included in their publication or if they were going to keep it traditional: no response as of yet. Subscription rates seemed alittle high to me for a newby trying to get going, but then I'm pretty cheap!... Not $1.29, but still cheap! :thumbsup: :crackup:

UPDATE....received lengthy email from the publisher. If I knew how to copy it here, I would. He stated that no in-lines would be in the magazine and even addressed the advertisment from GOEX which shows three hunters...two carrieing in lines. He has requested a more traditional adv. from them for future issues. He states that the mag is pre 1840 and the only mention of in lines will be tips on how to convert those that use them into traditional shooters. One thing that may be of interest to alot of members is that they will deal heavely with smoothbores. The publisher thinks that is one area that gets overlooked to some extent by other magazines. I am going to give them a try. "On The Trail" mag goes for about $21 so a couple of bucks more sounds like not such a bad deal for color slick pages.

Just highlight the text of the e-mail, copy and then paste it in a reply box.
I guess I'll subscribe to see if it is worth anything.

If you check the site out they have all kinds of info including some excerpts from their articles. They tell you in no uncertains terms that there will be no talk or stories about modern guns of any type including no Civil War stuff. they cut it off at 1840 period. Kool!:redthumb:

Hello Huntin'Fool,
This here is the publisher of that new rag. Sorry that I missed your email before, but rest assured, we need all the peons we can get! Sorry if there were any hard feelings, I surely didn't mean to ignore anyone and I try VERY hard to answer all of my emails as promptly as possible.
May your wits be as sharp as your flints! :shake: :sorry:

Welcome StumblinBufller!
Good luck with the start-up. I believed in your cause enough to send a check. Looking forward to inspecting your wares. Poke around while you're here and feel free to join in. Invite your friends. We should have a lot in common.
StumblinBufller....Hope I parapharsed your email to me correctly. If I had known the publisher was reading it...I'd have used my spellcheck! :crackup: :crackup: I think you may get some readership from the members here. I still can't figure out how to post your excellent response to my email but if you would take the time to sum up the publications view of star war guns (in-lines), I'm sure it would help encourage others with like views as myself (traditional) to sign up. Just a suggestion. :thumbsup:

Ahoy, Stumblin' Buffler! I got your magazine - would you believe I just this minute glanced up from reading "The Lost Voyageur", to check on this list?
Your new publication is great! My only criticism - and I offer this in the spirit of constructive such - is that you need to work on layout and proofreading. But the content is terrific! I'm still working through it; particularly enjoyed the article about the "Killdeer" rifle.

You must have missed this, or it was added after you per-rused their site:

Looks good, I think I will send off for a 1-year myself and see what they have to read. I get muzzleloader and on the trail, I really like those, my only beef is many of the articles on the war of 1812 and the revolution need to be less biases and realize that there was reasons for both sides. I still get real tired of the angry savages massacred us all poor little white folks who never did anything wrong BS. I guess that

I hesitated to jump into the fray here--didn't want it to look like I was spyin'! But, since I received a couple of phone calls from you fine folks in here yesterday, I thought that I ought to come and check it out....I love it here! There's some great stuff! I also added a slightly emabarassing squirrel hunting story to the listing. Hope you all enjoy my downfalls!
As to the question of layout and such- :sorry:-we're getting there! A couple of first run glitches that fell into the "Oh manure, I can't believe we missed that" category. But I glad that you are enjoying the magazine, and I am certainly comfortable with suggestions and folks pointing out when something is wrong. My door is open and I answer my own phone. In Fact, our Council Fire section is in desperate need of some tips, tricks and hints from fellow 'skinners from all over.
Thanks so much for allowing me to join and participate, I really appreciate.
May your wits be as sharp as your flints!

OH, almost forgot...I'll be posting the link to this here forum on our website this weekend! Hoping to get a banner as well. :RO:

Ok, here's what I said the other day:
Hello Dave,
Thanks for your interest in Buckskinner. We do not promote inline shooting or modern guns in Buckskinner. We are about rendezvous, going out and having a good time with your traditional guns, and getting your friends--especially inline shooters--to get out there and do as much as possible with traditional black powder guns. Inlines are a part of the times, but any reference made to them would only be to encourage those who use them to switch to the true faith. If anything, we are biased toward smootbore flintlocks, since not very many other publications seem to care that some of us don't want deep gouges running through the bore of our guns!
That's the Buckskinner Official Line.
My personal policy on inlines as a traditional flintlock smoothbore shooter is that God did not intend for man to put suppositories into our guns--ie brass cartridges--nor did he intend that we should use scopes or chunky pellets or jacketed hollow points in our guns. Black Powder Hunting Season has been abused by gun manufacturers who are developing firearms that were NEVER the intention of state Departments of Natural Resources or Fish and Game. Black Powder season is for traditional black powder shooters--however, I blame the gun makers.
That's the Personal Policy of me, Stumblin Buffler, AKA, the Publisher of this here fine magazine.
Now, I have many friends who, unfortunately, have been wooed by the shiny barrels and shotgun primers of inline guns, but those are guys who started off modern and are taking baby steps toward REAL shooting, which I am helping them do...it's kinda like a 12 Step program. What I am starting to see in many cases are guys who no longer use modern guns during the regular season and instead use their inlines for just about everything. THIS I encourage...before you tune me out, though, hear me out. Every guy who switches from modern to any front loading, single shot gun is taking a step in the right direction. He is taking his first step on the journey of hunting and shooting Purity, and we should all encourage the folks we know who have been duped into thinking that shooting an inline is shooting a real muzzle loader.
HOWEVER, are we going to run articles on inlines? No, why would we? We are a pre-1840, history, rendezvous, shooting, hunting, primitive camping, trekking publication, and I figure that anyone who shoots an inline and is yet reading Buckskinner is probably looking to trade up anyway.
Having said all of that, there is a Goex ad in the front of the magazine that shows guys going out hunting, two of which are carrying inline guns and one a traditional Hawken, all of them are wearing camoflauge...was it my favorite ad? No...did I take some flack for it? Yup. Am I going to encourage Goex to send more period appropriate ads? You betcha. Actually, they are premiering a new powder called "Reenactor Grade" made specifically for paper cartridges that don't need to propel a ball or some such thing.
Anyway, I hope that I have answered your questions....probably much more than you really wanted. In a nutshell, NO, Buckskinner won't be publishing any articles about inline shooting, other than tips on converting your buddies to The One True Faith of Front Loading. We are all about families having fun, running around in buckskins, passing the jug, and shooting smoke-poles and firelocks....certainly not in that order.
There you go, Dave, hope that helps!
Stumblin'
NOTE:
If i can find it, there might be one article on the first in-lines...they were developed about 300 years ago and they were FLINTLOCKS!!! I was amazed to see this the other day and dang if I can find it again, but there is an antiques dealer who has an original closed-ignition flintlock...one of the weirdest things I have ever seen, but it is basically an inline. If anyone has any further information on these, contact me IMMEDIATELY, please! Apparently only a few were ever made, and they were built for European nobles who could afford such a pricey toy.
See yuh!
