The Possible Shop Starter Kit?

[chad1043]

I'm looking at getting started in BP. I was wondering if this kit is a good place to start? Is it a good value or would I be better off finding the stuff individually?

Thanks

It looks to be a decent value, although I've never personally handled the horn or the bag (which are the two big ticket items). All of the other stuff you're going to have to get eventually, and may I also suggest a Range Rod in 10x32 thread. It accepts all of the acc's that are in your kit and works better than using a ramrod!

Are you going to use the horn & bag, or are you going to buy or make a Range Box to transport all of your "stuff" in? If you're not going to use either or at least one of the two big-ticket items, then I wouldn't purchase the starter kit. I'd piece-meal it out and get a big fishing tackle box or the Plano brand Shooter's Box with removable trays like I have. Plenty of room for everything, and in the $20-$25 range IF I remember right.

Has your new rifle arrived yet? Good luck with it and have fun & be safe.

Should be later this week.

Thanks for the reply.

I bought one when I first started, last year. I still use every single item! The bag is just the right size for a day's hunting, or a day at the range. The horn is not fantastic, but it's more than good enough. It's not a fancy horn, but it holds powder & that's all you really need. The onlything I would suggest, is gluing the strap to the 'pointy-poury' end of the horn. It has a tendency to fall off.

In all, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Personally, I have bought items from the Possibles Shop and have been quite pleased with each one. However, I would piece it and get exactly what you want from the various forums and likely save money.

Building your own is the best option. Adds a lot to the whole Black Powder experience.
