Hello All, I’ve been hunter since I was 12- nearly 50 years back. Started with a Bear bow, rabbits mostly. Bought a T/C Hawken .54 percussion and hunted with it for many years. My brother also gave me his .50 T/C Hawkin flintlock, but I never shot it. Recently I bought a Kibler Southern Mountain Rifle kit, but haven’t started it yet. So I have many questions ‘bout these kinda guns and expect to do a lot of listen in’ before I do much talkin’
 
Thank you. Ahhh ducks were safe from me, never saw any close enough to shoot, but there were a few pheasants that I lost arrows to. So, you shoot a .40 cal?
The caliber number under a poster’s name indicates a range of how many posts he/she has made. You will see that you have “.32 Cal.” because you have more than a couple and less than 100 posts currently. I think at 100, it goes to .36 Cal. I show as “.45 Cal.” because I have 843 posts (I think .45 is for 500 to 1000 posts.). Colonial Boy has “.40 Cal” because he has 439 posts. There is a chart posted on here, somewhere, that explains the levels. But, just when you think you know “what’s what,” some long-time members have a different designation than their post counts would suggest, for some unknown reason.
