[Nor'Easter]

60yo. Turning 61 in May. Been hunting & shooting as long as I can remember. Started shooting muzzleloaders 25 years ago with a Lyman GPR .54 flintlock. I gave my wife a diamond ring, she gave me the flintlock GPR. One of the 'better' decisions I've made in my life!

 

[RicM]

I'm 64 always was a small collector of War Time rifles and had a few when I was in my early 50's. Then started playing with muzzleloaders during the Covid crap. Had an old 410 ball ML long gun got a few years prior the plandemic in a thrift store for $80 its called a Monkey Gun. Was bored out of my mind, so I decided clean it as it was a wall hanger at that time and said what the heck, if covid wont kill me neither will this...(wife and I and my 90 year old Mom had it and we plowed thru it being unvaxed when it first came out, and we stayed unvaxed ) So out came some BP, lead balls etc and it works great!! So that started my jump into BP collecting having a few now already and no end in site lolol. So at 64 I feel like 24 when I'm shooting my muzzleloaders. I love them!!
