Hello all,

I just found this forum while doing some research on black powder firearms. I have a couple of BP rifles (TC and a Traditions Hawkens) and a BP pistol (Traditions Trapper).

So far I have only taken the TC out to the range once and that was a few years ago....

I am looking forward to learning the ropes from you all!!!!

Mick

Welcome Mick; I hope you find time to shoot ALL your BP guns soon.

welcome Mick-

There are more than a few of us here from the good parts of California :wink:

Warning...the bug gets to ya, and the next thing you know you're surrounded by traditional flintlocks, snaphaunces, wheel-locks and handgonnes! You just keep stepping farther and farther back in time! :rotf:

Welcome to the show. If you be near the Bay Area shoot me a holler. We shoot at Chabot near Castro Valley the second Sunday of every month, rain or shine. We have a 50 yard range all to ourselves with steel targets. bronsht

Welcome Mick, I live in Utah at present but I'm from Ukiah. If your in the wine country you can't be far from there. Ukiah Gun club has a nice range and a black powder group there shoots once a month. Check their website.

Welcome. Check out the Yolo Gun Club in Yolo County. I think it is over in Davis, not far. Also look at the Martinez Gun Club. Martinez is just south of you a few miles.

Welcome, and you better take that TC out again
:bow:

This is a great place to learn. Welcome :hatsoff:

Thanks for the warm welcome folks!

I have been to the Chabot range a few times, but it has been many years. It looks like there are few other ranges I need to check out.

Now that I am retired, I can spend a little more time with my BP guns out on the range. I have always wanted to add a cannon or two to my collection...they look like a lot of fun... :grin: !
