Hello all! I’ve owned a muzzleloader for years, though I have only shot it occasionally. I have always had a fondness for the frontier days and grew up reading copies of Muzzleloader magazine and even visited the big rendezvous at Friendship as a child. This fall I decided to delve more deeply into muzzleloading, really for my own enjoyment as I haven’t hunted in some time. I picked up my first flintlock recently, a custom .40, and am excited to learn more. I’ve done blacksmithing for several years and think the two interests will compliment each other well. - Jake
