Hi from Cheyenne, WY

Hello everyone,

I am glad to have found this forum! I am currently building a Jim Bridger Hawken from Track of the Wolf, and have made numerous mistakes. I actually started the project six years ago, but due to frustration I walked away from it, and have only just resurrected it within the past few weeks.

This will be a good time of the year in Cheyenne to be working on a project indoors ! Some of the guys here can really tell you how to build one !

Sometimes the only cure for that level of frustration is time. Time to gain experience and skills. I had a very old gun around my house for alot of years before I attempted to resurrect it. But I'm glad I waited. First for the patience and time required to restore an old gun and also for the full realization of the internet and the wealth of knowledge it affords. There's a blog in the gun builders section called Bridesberg Resurrection. That's the gun I restored/preserved. I did it with help from youtube and people on this forum. Got a question? Ask! It's that easy.

My Son lives in Cheyenne and has 5 flintlocks and been shooting and collecting for almost 30 years ( since he was 12) He would give some good advise. He's with the Cheyenne PD. Same name as mine,
