Hello from NC

[CJoeJ]

Welcome. I got the blackpowder/ muzzleloading "bug" in the NC swamps outside of Havelock. My friend/ classmate and fellow Marine allowed me to shoot his original muzzleloader from Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1970. I've been hooked on them ever since and prefer flintlocks.

Welcome! I Lived in Havelock too. Got PCS to El Toro in 81 and had to sell the house. Now back home in the Denver area. There are lots of areas in NC for shooting.

New to forum and semi new to black powder style guns. I have owned an in-line for several years, but just bought a few percussion style guns to try. I may even get brave and try a flintlock at some point.

Welcome from Idaho. As to flinters, be warned that if you try one, your search will begin until you find traditional flint lock nirvana. A flinter that fires as fast as a percussion.

Maybe off topic, but does anyone from NC know Carlos Wade Bowman, a.k.a. Corn cob? Marine gunner / friend...

Welcome to “Muzzleloading University”.

if you’re interested, I can link you up with a muzzleloading club not far from you. Just start a “Conversation with me” (AKA PM) and I’ll fill you in on everything Muzzleloading in the Tarheel State.

Again, welcome.
