Crisp Winter Day and Trade Gun

[Smokey Plainsman]

Today I was building my Kibler Woodsrunner and goofed up the patch box lid. Sad, I decided to take a break and go shoot my northwest trade gun:

I now feel much better lol. The delicious odor of powder smoke and the crack of the piece brought a smile.

This is my most favorite gun ever. Love it!!

I really like the smoothbore trade guns, looks like a nice one!

I have a couple smoke poles that always make the day a little brighter when I shoot them

My wife told me to pick out a Kibler for Christmas this year…I started in Mid-October trying to decide whether to get the WoodsRunner or the English Fowler…December 18th, I ordered the Fowler. It was a hard choice to make…

So tell us more about the WoodsRunner

Is that a North Star West there? She’s a beaut.

I’ve got a thread in Flintlocks about my “progress” lol. Long story short, I messed up the patch box fitting. Waiting on a replacement from Kibler before continuing!

Thank you! it was built off a Pecatonia kit. Not by me, I bought it at a Fort de Charters Illinois rendezvous last year.
