New to the forum as well

[PA_flinter]

New to this forum but known pretty well among some other hunting related forums (not muzzleloading specific).

Grew up using a flintlock because of the influence of my father. He has always been into bp firearms and built me a a TC Hawken kit when I was young. He "fancied" it up a bit with checkering, inlay etc. It sits in my cabinet now, retired.

Currently I am using a custom 54cal longrifle that a neighbor, Bill Slusser, built for me. It was a present from my wife one year. Ain't she great. :agree:

Have taken quite a few deer with the flinters and also a bear. This type of stuff fascinates me. Must be in the genes. Currently looking at doing some leather work and sewing a possibles bag for myself so any info along that line is appreciated.

14 days to PA Flintlock season! :RO:

Welcome.

Always room for another flinter. :thumbsup:

My Daddy and Grandpa taught me how to shoot, but I had to pick up muzzleloading on my own. You're a lucky feller. There was no place like this place to be found any place back then. Join in and enjoy.
