Started shooting black powder about 1970 in Colorado while in college. In the late 80s, shot once a month with a great group of guys in southern Mississippi. Built a .40 percussion fullstock with a Sharon barrel, Hamm lock, and precarved stock from DGW. Great shooter, still shoot it regularly. Now I have 4 fullstock custom rifles and one TC Hawken. I am about the only guy shooting black powder at my range.
