Greetings from a West Virginia Flatlander.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have been watching your forum for a couple of months now.
Most of the members look like real straight shooters with only a couple of "BS-ers". It is an overall pretty good gang and I will do my best to be one of the "GOOD" guys. My wife and I live in Charles Town, WV. We both shoot a little competition, WV-MD-PA. I also like to hunt with both Flint and Perc. but my sweety is just a paper shooter. In competition we both shoot 40-cals, when I hunt I go a little heavier. I have taken Deer, Turkeys, Groundhogs, Foxs, and squirrels with my Flintlock but really do a lot more hunting than shooting. I bought the first Thompson Hawken I ever saw, about 30-couple years ago, but now I go for longer, prettier, and of course more expensive types.

Thanks for a great forum,

slicjack

Congratulations on finding a flat-spot in WV. My father-in-law was born in Fairmont, near Morgantown, and my wife attended Potomic State and WVU.

Good to have you here.

("BS-ers" ? Buffalo Skinners? Ball-Shooters? ...OH!)

Welcome Slicjack. Im just down the road from you (Winchester). Grew up over in Hampshire County. You have discovered a great site here. I bet you will be heading up to Ft. Loudoun, Pa. for the Market Fair and Rifle Frolic April 22-25.

Howdy Flatlander and Fellow Mountaineer! I too started about 30 some years ago with a TC Hawkin cap gun.

If you look in the picture section you'll see that my present guns are a little more expensive also!

I also like to hunt more than punch paper.
I live in Putnam Co. near Hurricane.

I bet you got some good groundhog huntin' up there don't ya?

slicjack, welcome from Missouri! I've been fortunate enough to have visited your part of the country and found it beautiful. I have recently made a good friend here in Missouri who is from W. Va. but I don't know where....he owns a sizeable piece of real estate somewhere, a couple thousand acres I understand. Iused to shoot a lot of matches but nowadays it's all hunting. I too believe this to be a great site....welcome again.
