Hi from Ohio

[jal5]

I just inherited two bp rifles from an uncle and one is a long rifle, smoothbore, an African trade musket I think. The other is a percussion cap with rifled barrel. Both were made from kits by my uncle in the early 80's. I have experience with many other firearms but these are my first traditional bp firearms so I am looking forward to learning alot from this forum!

Here's one more welcome from another buckeye. Jefferson County's not that far away so you should come to Ft. Henry days in Wheeling over labor day. It's a good place to meet some more muzzlestuffers.

Hi Joe, :hatsoff:

Greeting from another Buckeye. I live about 25 miles south of Columbus, there are several clubs around where you can go shoot and learn about those new rifles. Some over your direction, we even have shooters from as far as Shadeyside come over to Columbus to shoot. Will have a shoot on New Year's day if you are interested. This is a great forum to learn from. Just ask questions and you will get answers here. :grin:

See ya, Jim/OH :thumbsup:

 

[jal5]

Thanks
tommy I will keep that in mind for Labor Day :wink:

 

[jal5]

Thanks but NYDay is no good for me. I will start asking members at my gun club and work from there to help me with these. I am looking forward to learning all I can about them.

to late 60's. Yep, 1960's.It's a b..ch getting old.
Don't worry about the Buckeyes......They will bring the roses home to Ohio.
