Hello, my name is Thomas. I thought I would join as I have a lot of interest in blackpowder and the fur trapping era. I have to admit, sadly, I do like in line muzzleloaders. You know, they are number 5 or 6 after Civil War era rifles, Hawkens, Modern Bolt Actions, Pistols, and Lever Actions. Anyway, I mean they are nice but they have no tradition or connection to anything. By saying I like them, I only mean I love to shoot and I'll shoot anything over nothing. Furthermore, I'm in OK. I like fur trapping and hunting. Have thought about re-enacting though am yet to jump in and try. I like humor of all kinds. In closing, take care all, I hope to contribute to the group.
