    Any Southpaws shoot a righthand flinter

    Paul, 1st off Happy Birthday! :hatsoff: I've always closed my right eye when shooting a shouldered weapon and kept both open for pistol shooting, so I don't see right eye flinch as being much of a problem. Used to have a RH'd friend that shot left handed because he couldn't close his left eye...

    tents

    I washed and dried mine, then I got talking with a fella that sells Tipis and he said I'd a been better off not washing the sizing out of it, not sure what sizing is or does but anyway, I've had mine out in some pretty good rains and it does mist a little but other that that it's fine.

    Why Awl?

    I've always just used a round awl, and regular sewing needles, seems to work for me on elk, deer, and cow leather. I usually sew about an 1/8 or so from the edge of the buck skin. Haven't ever tried just using a glovers needle without the awl first. Thus far all of my hide sewing has been on...

    Shotgun question

    Thanks Joe, Although in light of the fact that I couldn't hunt big game with it in CO, during ML season, I may be back to looking for a smoothbore flinter. Trying to find the "perfect" all around PC weapon on a limited budget is a bit challenging, ya know!

    Shotgun question

    What about choked barrels, do ML shotguns have them? Wouldn't that prohibit PRB shooting?

    Shotgun question

    Paul & Joe, Thanks for the input, particularly from you Joe, I'm in Colorado as well so it's good to know that it's legal to hunt with them here. Do you hunt in the ML season, or regular rifle season? I'm sure I could check the regs. but are they legal for elk too? The idea of PRB in one...

    Shotgun question

    I've been reading the Smoothbores On The Frontier article in the B.O.B. IV. The author was talking about hunters using PRB in double barrel shotguns to bring down Buffalo. So I'm wondering if any of you shoot roundballs out of you BP shotguns on a regular basis? How's the accuracy? Have you...

    Jeremiah Johnson Movie question

    Assuming he did take his possibles and anything else he wasn't gonna need anymore, bein' dead an' all, maybe he had a bullet mold, worm, ball puller and other such stuff in his pouch.

    Girls and Gonnes

    Good for you Runnball! Making history come alive for her, I bet she'll appreciate the textbooks even more now. :thumbsup:

    Need more pictures

    I agree with what's been said about figuring out "who ya are" "when ya lived" "what your livelihood was" "where you came from maybe" etc. etc. saves on time and money and you don't end up looking like a "composite" of history. Here's a link that has links with pictures, most of the guys in...
