Hi everyone. I'm from northern Alberta and I've been interested in muzzle loading for a couple of years but I've never had the oppotunity to shoot one. This christmas my lovely wife put a flintlock under the tree for me, one of the best presents ever. I'm like a little kid, I can't wait to open it and shoot it. Anyway this is a great site and I'm sure that I'll have a bunch of questions for all you guys and gals. Take care and Merry Christmas.

Thanks Griz. I don't think it will be long before I'm hooked. I will be sure to post some pictures after I rip the paper off of it.

Welcome Chewy and congrats. Let the little lady make some smoke and she may want one of her own (I speak from experance)My wife gave some strange looks the first time I got out my .50 but after she had fired it she turned with CRAZY look in her eye and a big grin and said WE NEED MORE GUNS!!!! after which she laid claim to a .45 Kentucky kit that I had in the closet.
