Hi, new member here, name's Alan and I live in Indian Territory (Oklahoma). I have a few friends who shoot black powder and it has fascinated me, but went to the gun show over the weekend and there seems to be a couple of trains of thought on the subject. Some like the percussion-type rifles with hammers, others prefer the 'modern' black powder units. Guess there's plusses and minusses to each.
I am thinking of trying out the sport, don't want to invest too much in the beginning. Any suggestions on a starter rifle for the beginner? Sportsman's Guide has rifles from $109 up to the sky's the limit.
Also, they were telling me that some people use loose powder, others use something in pellet form. Pretty cool, lots of options.
Thanks for your suggestions.
