Revolutionary hello from Massachussets

[Ashby]

Hi,

Just a quick introduction. I am an avid reenactor personifying a surveyor & veteran of the French & Indian War now caught up in a struggle for independence. I am lucky to call the Minuteman National Park part of my playground.

That love of history has transpired into being the owner of a Fusil (centermark) & Club Butt Fowler as historical pieces but firing paper cartridges seems a waste and learning to properly fire and hunt with these fine firelocks is why I am here. Hope to learn & eventual offer some help myself.

Roger

Welcome.

... but firing paper cartridges seems a waste ...

I take it you mean blank cartridges. :haha:

It do add a level to start throwin lead downrange. Some of us approached it from that angle first and are now digging into the clothing and software of muzzleloading.

There is no right or best way, and sometimes it is better to journey hopefully than to arrive. :thumbsup:
