Ordered a Kibler Fowler

[NMHawken]

This will be my first foray into the flintlock realm. Doing all of the reading I can to hopefully reduce the learning curve just a little. Looking forward to trying every load I can, and hunting some wildfowl and small game.

I wanted to be able to shoot round ball, so I went with the 20, and the maple stock. I look forward to seeing yours finished.

Congrats. I hope to order one in the next few months. I hope you keep us informed of your trials when you get it completed especially with the round ball.

Here is some reading for you, Dave. Out there somewhere is another article by Paul, if you can find it. I could not at the moment, but I was not trying too hard.

The Doc is out now.

I ordered a Kibler Fowler in 16ga with a walnut stock. I’m going to see how much I like it and whether or not I can hit flying birds with it as is. I used to own a Dunlap half stock Fowler and didn’t do too well with it, I never could get it to pattern well and never got used to the lock time. I’m committed to learning to becoming an effective wing shot with this gun even if I have to jug choke it.

My Kibler Kit has shipped!

 

[Texcl2]

When did you order yours? I’m still waiting on mine.

 

[NMHawken]

Mine was ordered on October 16th.

 

[Texcl2]

Awesome, mine should be right behind yours then, hopefully.
