In fact, you can waste a lot of time reading this thread. Bedtime Stories (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=36853).

While not sharpshooting, here's a collection of anecdotes from the blackpowder era. It's at our sister site, TFL. Rambling Anecdotes (http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=150010).

This is a very good website for an online magazine: Black Powder Magazine (http://www.blackpowdermagazine.com/)

This is not an essential but it's very useful for those who would like to post pictures.Posting Picks by A. Walker (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?p=5403650#post5403650)
