Just happened to stumble accros this site, and it looks exactly like what I need. I dont own a muzzleloader yet but I want to change that. It seems pretty hard to find info in my area about them. I love the history of the fur trade era, and am looking to someday purchase a repro muzzleloader from that era. If anybody knows of any clubs or shoots in the portland area, let me know. I need all the advice I can get.

Froggy,
You are around some of the best M/Ls around.
A few mile south of you is the Yamhill Flying M rondy. One of the biggest around these parts.
Up north in my neck of the woods (1/2 way bewteen Seattle and Portland) there are a bunch more.
Next spring will be the season opener trade shows, you just missed the end of year stuff.
Stick around here and you will see the notices for both states rondys.
We here are gearing up for the Feburary 15-16th "Rain-De-Vue"
Hey Brett send me the times and address where you shoot, I may just hitch up the mule and mosie down there!

Welcome to the warmth of this campfire,froggy.
:hatsoff:

Well Froggy got some trigger time yesterday!
He found our group and checked us for a bit.
unfortunately, he showed up a tad late for the rifle aggregate stuff, but he was there right when the pistol section started. So we talked and did the "Q&A" thing, intoduced him to a few other folks and a few forum members. I know he went home with a ton of info in his head, and more questions in the making!
Now bear in mind folks....He has never shot a ML before! shot lots of other guns, but not a ml.
I took care of that!
I had brought him my "USA" barreled CVA Mt Rifle in .50. This was my 1st gun and it hadnt been shot for some time since taking a backseat to my .40. Being that he wasnt there for the aggregate and I had ample time remaining, I warmed the old girl up! forgot how well she shot and how good the trigger felt!....back to the story....
He said he would watch us, but I wouldnt have any of that, so I demo'd the loading process and had him shoot. of course the first time ever shot with set triggers is an experience! I saw his face and eyes!first you see the surprise look not knowing the trigger! thats followed by the GRIN!
He shot a few, said hehad enough....NO,we hot bunked the cva for a while and shot until the novelty event was over. hit or miss didnt matter, trigger time and smoke did!
I look forward to meeting up again soon!
...ya, I remember my first beer!
