Howdy!

[rawdog]

I attempted registration on this Forum about a year ago but somehow never got access...probably a cockpit problem by me....Now a friend of mind has recommended this site to me and I visit again and find I am already registered!

I have been shooting muzzleloaders informally and hunting with muzzleloaders since 1981 when I built a CVA Mountain Rifle in .50 perc.

Since then I have acquired a few more MLs mainly in flint but not exclusively so. I have never gotten into period dress though I am interested. Mainly now I use my MLs for hunting season here in TEXAS.

I have a John Parker .58 Flintlock PRB rifle I had made about 4 yrs ago, and a Lee Guydos made .50 Flintlock PRB rifle, both of which have taken more than a few whitetail deer.

Glad you found your way back. Where abouts do you hunt? Do mine in West Texas (Kinney County) but live way down in far South Texas. :hatsoff:

MazoKid, others,

thanks for askin!

Here is me last year with the .58cal:

and here is me a few years back with the .50cal:

This last one was the 81 lasered-yard shot that I have previously described as either a 90-pace (true) or a 90-yard (false) shot. Although the 178gr .490 is not traveling all that fast at that point, it passed thru and IMHO that is ideal (see my post in the .54 RB Penetration thread). He ran about 30yds in a semicircle and expired about 15yds from where he was hit.

YHS,

Howdy Parson,

I have a property in San SAba County. Only improvement on the place is a travel trailer I camp out of.

I forgot to add in my reply to MazoK that I was so excited in the first pic I had my hat on backwards....normally this is a sign of old age (I resemble that remark...!) but I was both in the picture and the photographer....was using the timer and moving around and trying to compose the shot before the timer expired....numerous iterations and finally got a nice pic....then later noticed the hat....sigh!

YHS,
rogerw

:rotf: Don't feel bad -- I wouldn't have noticed it was on backward if you hadn't pointed it out.
