Hello to the camp. Not completly new to muzzleloaders, I bought my TC Hawken 50cal. in 1973 I believe. Was home on leave from the Army and had watched Jeremiah Johnson at leat 6x. Walked into the loacal gunstore and there it was.Went home with me. Dont even think I got around to shooting till I was discharged in 75. I have played around with it over the years and hunted Javelinas twice with it, no javeys killed wounded or even scared both times tho. LOl. Hope to learn alot more, seems like a wealth of knowledge around here.
