Hello from the Middle Ages!

[Teleoceras]

Hiya! I was pointed to this site just today by a fellow who also has an interest in pre-18th Century firearms.

I go by the name of Teleoceras and my black powder website can be found at http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Vault/1945/Guns/BP.htm.

As you can see, my slowmatch arms out number all of the other ignition types combined. ::

See ya around!

Welcome

Hiya! I was directed to the pre-flint forum by one of your regulars as a matter of fact. I sent word of your board to a few other that I know who could feel at home here. ::

I hope I can be of some help with questions on the early arms.

Teleoceras: Big welcome and enjoy yourself while your hanging out with us. Your web site sure has alot of information on it. Personaly, I own perc and flint rifles. I've been shooting mostly percussion. I've just got the flintlock, and I'm looking forward to shooting it too.
Again Welcome, Mtn-Man2u

Hey, there! That was me that contacted you about the new forum. But I didn't use my real name (Squirrelsaurus Rex) when I emailed you, I used some drab, boring name my parents stuck me with when I was born. ::
Glad you made it! Anyway, we'll be adding a link to your website on the links page real soon. One thing I forgot to ask you when I emailed you: How do you pronounce your name?

Wow! Impressive striking weapons for up close and personal serious social intercourse!!!!
Tell me, where can a fellow get such a wonderful tool?
The battle axe really strikes me fancy.
I'd imagine trying it out on an ex-mothter-in-law, but I have to much respect for the battle axe. ::
I'm sure the battle axe would get ruined. :haha:
Jest kiddin'>

"Teleoceras"? Far seeing asteroid? Long goddess of agriculture (Naw, she was Ceres)? Long horn?

Welcome. Some very impressive weapons of all sorts on your website. I was always fascinated by war hammers. Efficient brutes.

My cyber-name is pronounced Tee-lee-ah-sir-ess. The Teleoceras was a hippo-like rhino that lived in North America from 12 to 5 million years ago. They were the second to last rhino to die out on our continent. I did my Master's Thesis (COMPATIVE MORPHOLOGY AND EVOLUTION OF TELEOCERAS, MAMMALIA:RHINOCEROTIDAE) on animal 14 years ago.

As for my choice in melee weapons, I'm more into smash'em and bash'em rather than slice'em and dice'em. ::

Thanks for the comments on my website. Having been able shoot all of the ignition types has been a very good learning experience. The only down side with using slowmatch ignition is that you are at the mercy of the weather. Still, Handgonne to Percussion Lock, they are ALL fun to shoot!

Teleoceras: Sense you said "... I did my Master's Thesis (COMPATIVE MORPHOLOGY AND EVOLUTION OF TELEOCERAS, MAMMALIA:RHINOCEROTIDAE) on animal 14 years ago." I thought you might like to know that when I was at Arizona State University they decided to hire some Paleontologests so they sent back East to attract some of them out here.
Of course it only took one summer of our sun to turn them all into
Tanontologests. :: :: ::

You'll get use to us, I promise....Hay!...come back...I was only kidding....
