Hello from France

[pierricg]

Hi everyone,

I'm a hunter and black powder shooter from France. I'm also a crime fiction writer and an History buff (just got me Francis Parkman's France and England in North America, for example).
My guns are :
A Marlin 336 in .35 Remington for hunting (mainly roe deer and wild boar), with a 16 Ga shotgun given to me when I got my licence by my late grandfather.
A fusil de Tulle, 20 Ga flintlock smoothbore, a belgian .32 Bulldog from early 20th century, and a few italian civil war replicas (1860 Army, 1851 Navy, Le Mat).
Glad to be onboard !

Hello Richard and Treestalker,

Thanks for your welcome. I've been using cap and balls for twenty years but I'm quite new to flintlocks so I still got to learn a lot around here, and also hope to make new friends from all over the world of muzzleloading.

Welcome to the Forum!!

My wife and I went to Paris for Christmas a few years ago and loved it! We want to go back soon and I want to go hunt Wild boar and Roe Deer with my flintlocks in the future. How hard would it be for me to get black powder? I'm guessing flying with a horn full would not go over very well with the airplane and customs people. :nono:

Welcome again!!

We've moved some of the "Hunting in France" and "Laws in France" to the appropriate categories.

This area is for introductions. :wink:
