Hello from Tennessee

[hickok45]

Hi,

I've had a Hawken or Enfield (percussion) around for thirty years, but today I purchased a Brown Bess. I have lots to learn about flint and such ( I've never owned a flintlock or a smoothbore), so I wandered on over here and have already gotten some great help the last couple of days.

I live on my own range and thoroughly enjoy all sorts of firearms. I really savor a fine muzzleloader or Colt SAA, but as well, I appreciate the utter reliability and functional qualities of my ugly Glocks.

I live in the woods about 30 miles northwest of Nashville, Tn, in a log house. I shoot something almost every day.

Yeah, Shifty, Twin Oaks is five miles up the road from my house. I make about all their shoots, especially the big traditional shoot each May.

I'm 6'8" and would be shooting either a recurve or hybrid longbow (Hummingbird).

Hollar at me if you notice a big ugly old guy that fits that description! ;-)

A buddy of mine and I drove over to Crossville last month and shot at Ye Olde Fartes for the first time. Quite a challenging course. They sure like to shoot through trees, and so do I!
