Hi,
new to the forum. I was pointed this way by 4v50 Gary from other places. I like both percussion and flintlock, but flints are my favorite. Any place where people talk blackpowder is where I'll be. Looks like a fun place, think I'll stick around for a while. :)

Thanks, guys.

Hmm, a blackpowder shooting match. Now that's an interesting idea... :D

First comes the gun.. then the accessories... then the fascination leads you to the library to find out about the people who used them.. then there are the buckskins or the uniform..... and the Tipi or the Shelter half.... then it's BPCR's and then Cannons..... be afraid.... be verry very afraid.... :( ;)

Well, I'm new to this forum, but I'm not exactly new to blackpowder or the history behind it's development...

But thanks for the warning. :D

Unfortunately, it's too late for me. I was long ago turned to
the Dark Side of the shooting sports...

Thanks for all the welcomes! :D

You mean...you shoot Glocks?! :eek:

No, not Glocks, on this forum, I'm sure he means in-li**** (wow, can't even type the word out)

You mean...you shoot Glocks?!That's not what I meant, but yeah, one of those, too. :D


I'm sure he means in-li**** (wow, can't even type the word out)Nope, never have, never will. Nothing personal against 'em, they just don't interest me. I prefer traditional sidelocks.
