Hello from Georgia! (Soon to be Colorado)

[LongRifleSC]

Hey all!

Lifelong shooter here, new to blackpowder however. Excited to get into it and gain more knowledge on it all.

I’m interested in flintlock rifles and the history of the American Riflemen from the 1700’s to the 1800’s.

I’m currently located in Augusta, GA but will be moving to Colorado Springs, CO at the end of August! So if there are any local folk who are around with similar interests feel free to reach out!

I’m in the mountains just west of COS. Not as into the history thing as much as I am hunting. I do a lot of hunting. Shoot me a message sometime if you want.

 

[LongRifleSC]

Right on man!

Howdy from the Republic of Texas. Dad had good friends in Milledgeville, I have been there a few times.
My uncle lived in Colorado Springs, his daughter lives in Denver. Truly God's Country.

Welcome from North Carolina! Garden of the Gods is awesome! Be sure to visit it. Also, Pike’s Peak, of course. Lovely country.

Welcome from central Nebraska!

Do check out the Colorado Springs Muzzleloading Club. Fine set of members who used to sponsor a great Memorial Day shoot but due to aging and current pandemic cancelled this year. If you hunt get your residency as there are many big game animals here that you did not find in Georgia. The Palisade peaches here will give a Georgia peach a run for its money but I leave that for you to decide. Welcome to the Centennial State.

Don't use social media at all before, during, and after your CO move. They have a "red flag law" and you don't want to make anyone mad no matter how small the infraction. Enjoy the move. Welcome to the forum.
