FNG from Ohiowa

[Chickenfax]

Greetin's all. The name is Bret and I am fairly new to Ohiowa. Used to live in Southeastern Arizona. If I get the chance, I will go back in a heartbeat. Too durn hot here!
Anyway, I recently acquired my grandmother's T/C Seneca rifle along with all of my grandfather's accoutrements. After searching the web looking for info, I stumbled onto this place. And I must say... nice!
Anyway, to make a short story long... I fired my first ML on my grandpa's farm when I was 10. Then I got into centerfire pistol in high school but lack of funds kept me from the range. Since I just found a shooting range close by, I decided to get into it again. So in terms of experience, I would call myself a newbie with some experience.
I've been looking to join a muzzloading club around here and have found several to contact. Anyone from around these parts that can give me some direction in this area?
Oh yeah, and as luck would have it, I am only 1 hour or so from Friendship!!! So I guess it ain't all that bad here.

Thanks and hope to be around for a while!
Bwaaaak.

Hows y'all are?

You lived in Arizona and Ohio's hot?

That's right, ARIDzona has "DRY" heat, we have wet heat up here... :winking:

T/C Senecas are nice, wish I'd bought one of them in .36 caliber, but funds being what they were back then...

Ah yes! As Foghorn Leghorn would say,
You are.. You are ..ah as I say, you are always welcome here an' when Ah says welcome, I mean WELCOME!!!

An when you say "Used to live in Southeastern Arizona. If I get the chance, I will go back in a heartbeat. Too durn hot here!" Ah gots to say shhhhhhhhhh! Ah have been working REAL hard here to convince all O' these fine folks how HOT it is here in Arizonie, an why they should not come heer and have to suffer like Ah do.


Anyway, you've come to the right place. The absolute best muzzleloading site on the entire web (an I don't even get paid to say that!).
Any questions, comments, thoughts...whatever are welcome too.

Thanks for joining.

Chickenfax, welcome to the forum! I'm a newbie myself, and we newbies need to stick together! Get yourself a really large musket and move back here to AZ! As wulf(another AZ poster on this site)says, there aren't enough of us out here! :cry: :imo: :thumbsup:

Ya got yer Grandpappy's accoutrements. eh? Well, that's better'n I got - they tell me I got my Grandpappy's grin. Teeth so crooked I could bit my own ear.

Get out there and shoot that Seneca. I had a .36 that I put many miles on woodchuck hunting. Enjoy it some.

Anyway, Arizona is a much more tolerable climate for me. I can't stand humidity!!!! I say!
