Salutations From Europe

[LostInSauce]

Hi all,

First time BP owner and shooter, just got my Pietta Colt 1851 Navy (brass frame, with factory engravings). I have a good amount of experience with modern firearms. I like the way BP firearms look, and I think their old timey nature, combined with the fact that every load is done by you, and not some factory, makes for a more intimate shooting experience. Akin to comparing an automatic transmission to a manual one. BP shooting is a way to partake in history. If I had the money for it, I think I'd get into reenacting. Anyway, that's the end of my rant. Look forward to interacting with you guys!

Howdy and Welcome from Texas!
Lots of good info available here, just for the asking.
Show us photos of you shooting, what you shoot, and where you shoot. Do you shoot with friends or kids? Show us photos of them shooting, too. We LOVE photos!
The US has a lot of history, but it only goes back so far. Europe has a lot more history, so you're going to discover all kinds of BP firearms to build, buy, and use. Best of luck in this hobby/obsession!
