Hello from Georgia!

[Shemp]

Hello all, just wanted to introduce myself. Ive been interested in BP for a long time, but haven't taken the plunge until now. I'm an Air Force vet in my mid 30s with 3 kids, live in a cookie-cutter subdivision in a suburb, and have a keen love of history. After owning most commercially available modern firearms, ive gotten all of the 'tacticool' stuff out of my system, and am finally returning to that first love of BP. I currently have a Uberti 1851 Navy, a Miroku build 1863 Zouave, an original 1795 Springfield from 1812, and have a 3rd Pattern Bess on order from Loyalist Arms. I plan to try and learn quickly and maybe find a group to teach me the ropes here in Atlanta when I have the time...

Thanks for having me!

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your service my friend.

Sounds like you have a variety of BP guns. Many members here have decades of knowledge and experience. They’d be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have?

Think it’s an excellent idea to hook up with other BP shooters for some real hands on. That’s where your experience starts.


We at the forum can definitely contribute to the knowledge portion.

We look forward to hearing more from you in the very near future my friend.

Again, thank you for your service.

From one vet to another, Cowboy

Welcome to the Forum. This is where its at in muzzleloading. You'll like it here.

Nice muzzleloading gun club up in the hills, just northeast of "Hotlanta". Start a conversation with me and I can get you the contact info.

Plus the largest muzzleloading shooting match in the SE US, takes place down around Lenox near Tifton in March, and draws shooters from six states including NC.

I'm about 40 mins or so north of Atlanta...

I am on the other side out on I20. There is a club in Stevens Co. area that shoots in Red Hill you might try them . Someone here can most likely remember the clubs name. Maybe we will still cross paths.
