Hello all,
My name is Caleb McGraw, and I have been a flintlock blackpowder shooter for eight years now. I have a Cabela's left-handed (for some reason I have this disease, even though otherwise right-handed) .50 cal Hawken rifle with a 1:48 twist. I have never hunted with it, nor have I really attempted to see how accurate I can be with it. I am ordering an Early Virginia very soon from TVM, and the plan is to slay deer with it.
I love my Hawken, but it does have adjustable sights, plus I want a legitimate hand-made longrifle. I figured this forum might be a good idea, for the benefit of shared experiences.
I'm currently in Annapolis, MD, at USNA, but I am actually from Louisiana. I'm looking to hunt in either PA or NC over the weekends next year, when the Early Virginia is ready.
