Hello from Missouri!

[Tinman0629]

Hello and thank you for allowing me to join. I am a newbie to the muzzleloader and have no experience shooting them. I was handed down 3 flintlocks and one percussion along with a small flintlock pistol. I plan on shooting the percussion, but not the others and would explain why if asked. I have been doing a lot of homework on them all, but the one I feel confident in shooting is the percussion. I look forward to learning from all the expert members and apologize in advance for my ignorance!

Welcome from another Missourian. Probably a good idea to start with the percussion once you learn the fundamentals you can move to the flinters. Flintlocks aren't that much more difficult to shoot once you get the hang of it.

An hour West on 70, past Wentzville.

 

[andy52]

I'm assuming that would put you in the Kingdom City area.

No, Warrenton. Sorry, I did not specify an hour west of St Louis. Kingdom City is about 40 minutes further west from Warrenton.

 

[andy52]

I know where Warrenton is I've been there many times knew some people that used to live there.

Yet another Missourian here to welcome you! I live down towards Springfield but do most of my hunting on my farm in northern Shannon County about 20 miles north of Eminence, MO.

All I have is flinters and I love shooting them!

That's about 15 miles from were I was raised, just across the Current river in Reynolds county.
