You KNOW You're A Traditional Muzzleloader...

[Grizzled Roberts]

In order for me to see grand collections of flintlocks and accoutrements I have to drive to Friendship Indiana, Dixon's Gun shop, or The Log Cabin shop. I live in North Carolina a desert for flintlocks. Jim Chambers is in the western part of the state. If I could not travel I would not be able to see anything! I have went into my local Pro Bass and asked for a dozen musket flints and my militia required sixty .715 musket balls just to see the look of confusion on their faces.

I did once out of curiosity. I know it's high on some folks list of drinks but to me it's too much like Creomulsion Cough Syrup. I mentioned this to a German lady I knew and she smiled and told me, "It is medicine, you know"...boy, do I believe it! :rotf:

When you have a large gun safe full of those new firearms that are able of long range kills and you find your self in the woods with your MLR and your old eyes knowing that 50 yards is about it!

Still being happy with these limitations because you feel some how connected to what made this country what it is today!

When you save all the bear fat.

 

[blackdog of vt]

When you go to the pet store to buy a half dozen small dog collars. The clerk asks what kind of puppies you have, and you reply "nope, making kilts"

 

[Eric Krewson]

When you look at a maple, cherry or walnut tree with a crook in it and think "a stock blank from that tree will have just the right grain flow through the wrist".

 

[Len Graves]

When you are in your blind and use a bore buttered patch for a chap stick, or wasting your time trying to explain that your "musket loader". Will dispatch a deer.

 

[Jo]

When you shoot your rifle so much you can't keep it
clean,and when you throw your knife/ hawk so much you can't keep them sharp! :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :grin:

 

[Shooey]

While walking to your stand, your buddy sees your flintlock and says "Don't you know it's rifle season?"

You know you're a traditional muzzleloader when you tell him "This IS a rifle..."

 

[Rod Lassey]

When you can't bring yourself to get rid of the wasp nest under the eaves, because you know it'll make great smoothbore wadding come fall...
