Which way? Hope to be passing thru there , be a long over due reunion

Fifty miles south of Ottawa, spitting distance to the St. Lawrence river.
Only a couple of black powder shooters in this area, and black powder is getting harder to find and EXPENSIVE!
Crossing over to the USA to buy supplies is no longer an option.

Kswan- that’s a good plan, waiting for the message

FG Ford, check the gun store in the north end of Brockville, can`t remember the name, but they usually carry lots. But that was 4 years ago.

Hi, from the French side, quebec, we are a small group of five building flinters for many years . Winter projects and yes we are the odd ducks around here. But we enjoy it so much

The original owner of Gun Mart passed away three years ago, the new owners a modern, very little black powder stuff.

Sorry to hear that. I got some from SFRC as well. I think they will bring it in if you ask. I got some on the way to west port as well there’s a sporting goods store made out of cordwood. Norris bait and tackle. If you take hiway 15 from Kingston, then take the turn off to Westport hiway 42. they had some stuff, I bought 5 pounds there once.

If you build them, you have to get out and shoot them. It’s sacrilege otherwise.

Hi there from another Thunder Bayite! You live in PA or FW? I shoot a .54 Jonathan Browning Mtn rifle at the Fish and Game club on Pento road.

Not sure if he's still active on this forum. He mentioned getting together for a shoot sometime ago and never got back.

Hmmm well we’ll just keep our ears and eyes open then!

 

[kswan]

Yes. Would be nice to see some other BP shooters in the area. We seem to be pretty thin on the ground here.

 

[Hiwallhunter]

Hello. Any North western folks on here?

Yup! In Thunder Bay!

 

[Donald J. Craig]

Gun Mart north of Brockville has been closed for some time.

Hey kswan and fishleclair I shoot at the Fish and Game club in Thunder Bay . I am looking around for a supply of #11's and some more 3fg powder. I have heard the Shooters Den in Sudbury might be the place so I will make inquiries. Right now i am waiting for the next snowfall!

No Man! no more snow, I'm done with winter. I don't have a range up here so I have to wait for the snow to go and the sand pits to open.
No sure what we are going to do for powder now that GMK shut down. I bought the rest of their 1.5 F for the .62 but nothing for the rifles.
