My name is Steve and I live 25 miles east of Columbus Ohio. I got interested in muzzleloaders in 1988, built a .45 TC hawken which I hunted squirrel, deer and even a rabbit with it for years. I was a CW reenactor from '89-'06 and skirmished in the mid 90's. Eventually life got in the way until recently. My youngest is in college, so I have a little more free time. I purchased a '1795' musket this winter which reignited my black powder interest, now flintlocks. I now have a couple more and plan on participating in some competition locally at Death Wind Longrifles this summer. I have been a 4H Shooting Sports instructor for 10 years or so and just got my muzzleloader certification this spring. I compete a little in rimfire events and service rifle.
