I've gotten into flintlocks as a result of a burgeoning interest in the early fur trade era in the far west and a background in hunting and shooting.
The Davey Crockett craze of the late 1950s/early 1960s got me interested. Finally bought my first muzzleloader in late 1972; a Remington Zouave repro from A. Zoli. Finally bought my first flintlock in 1974 from Dixie Gun Works. From there on I was hooked. Have owned lots of repros and originals since then. I now own a Colonial fowler custom built by Bobby Christian of Ohio and a North Carolina rifle built by Andy Knight of Moultrie, Georgia. I am waiting on a Kibler Southern Mountain rifle kit now. Ordered it in .40 caliber with fancy Maple stock. Took lots of family and friends shooting muzzle loaders, but no one really got into it except me. Don't really know anyone that shoots black powder, even now.What got you interested in flintlocks? How many people have you introduced to the hobby? Seems we all recruit friends family and they get hooked!!!!
