Well, I suppose the thread title is pretty self explanitory.
I've been sitting here surfing through the black poweder part of THR for a while and it seems to be really a different world of shooting.
I started off with rifles, played around a little in shotguns, but it would be nice to be able to branch out into something a little different and black powder seems to be able to satisfy that particular itch.
I've been eyeballing a 150 dollar starter kit rifle for a while down at the local Walmart; one with a simple rifle, some projectiles, reading material and etc but I'm not sure whether I should go in on it. I don't really know anyone that is into the subject and haven't been really exposed to BP pieces except for a few people who drop by the range on a rare afternoon or two.
So, I suppose I have a few questions:
What's a good starter arm for a person new to BP shooting?
What are some basic pointers?
And does the youth handgun safety act apply to BP pistols (I'm asking this because I am 18)?
Thanks in advance!
