    Hello from St. Louis

    Just checking in to say hi. Wife never would let me have black powder in the house, neither would my parents. Always had guns though. Well, the wife is gone, so I figure I finally get to try it out. Cold weather and far away ranges has kept me in and from shooting but picked up some toys at...
