I wasl introduced to black powder shooting as a teenager in the 70’s out at Philmont Boy-scout Ranch. Was handed a Hawken .35 for a turkey shoot and fell in love. Bought a Parker-Hale .58 double band percussion muskettoon which I still own. Recently purchased a Pedersoli .50 Hawken Traditional flintlock for Christmas. If there are any FL shooters in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, I look forward to hearing from ya’ll.
