Older than I want to be...chronologically.
Mentally and emotionally I'm still a juvenile delinquent

I think one of my favorite things about being involved in BP, is that I'm usually the youngest guy in the room
Oh, I forgot. Must be an age thing! 67

Well, lets see. How long have I been interested in muzzle loading ? If I count my toy Parris CW musket using greenie-stickup-caps and cork balls, about 1957/8. First real flintlock in 1964. Turn 73 in May.

i plowed snow all day. tonight i am 250 years old! at least my knees are.
I'm already a minority at the shooting spheres I'm in. I'm the guy with the pretty European suppository rifle, while everyone else is tacticool spraying and praying like the Chinese are invading. Many are interested in my "obsolete" stuff and do ask questions.

78, started shooting with my Grandpa in the 1950s. I shoot a lot of guns, but black powder just seems right. I will never give it up. Keeps me young, and sexy.
Your pic looks like my living room right now! Just 2 premie doelings here though!

I got started in 95.
a good friend (who grew up at Rendezvous all over, and his dad made rifles), asked if I wanted to try shooting muzzleloaders. We had a homemade shooting range cobbled together, and spent quite a bit of time shooting there after work that summer.
I was hooked immediately.
Bought a used GPR that fall, and shot a fat whitetail that season.
I'd always been a bowhunter, so a Plains Rifle felt like the easy button.
Circa 1997

Yes, just turned 78. I am a lucky 78. I walk, talk, feed myself (most the time) ride my Harley, and love most all guns. Mostly vintage. I live on the Oregon Coast. It is a great place for outdoor activities and I do something every chance that I get. Unfortunately I work 40hr job as a Casino Host, but I do have 3 days off in a row. I am excited about finding such a great sight dedicated to muzzle loaders.
I could use some help trying to figure away to put sights on my Pennsylvania 50. I love the gun, but it is not easy to draw a bead. I'm thinking may be put on some high front sight matched up with a rear peep. Any ideas?

26. I got my first flint rifle at 19, but it was several years before I got into it seriously/really started learning. I have gotten three different friends to buy a percussion/flintlock rifle after shooting one mine. All of them are in their mid twenties. It isn't all doom and gloom fellas! I have faith lol!
