First time out

[steelerfan]

Well, I finally got out to sight in my CVA Hawken, even though the rifle is at least 20 years old & the barrel was a little on the rough side I shot about a dozen patch & ball loads. The first few were a little high & to the left but after several sight adjustments I worked it over to the bullseye I put my last 3 in the middle, 2 in the same hole.
All I can say is, I'm hooked, I loved it, now I know what the big attraction is to muzzleloaders even though they're more work than my modern rifles.
Thanks to all here who helped me along the way answering questions & helping me solve some problems. :grin:

YAY!

Next thing you know you will have extra barrels, various projectiles and a safe that has more BP guns than you can carry by yourself. Be careful, it is an addiction. :grin:

Cool man! Soon you'll be trying to explain "it" to others.

Welcome brother!

Sister Cynthia Lee is our cheerleader by the way.

Addiction is right, these firearms addictions I have will drive me to the poor house, but at least I'll have fun there

Thanks, & I already have people interested in wanting to try my BP rifle out
