I was packing it all in after a few good shoots and cleaning the bore with a nylon brush wrapped with a cleaning patch. It wasn't tight or anything, just snug. The brush broke off the...

I'm currently using a .018 pillow tick patch with bore butter as lube. I also use a .020 ox yoke patch with Hoppes...

    Hello from NE TN

    Hi! I recently got into BP shooting. History, especially our founding has always intrigued me. My daughter (8 yrs old) is big into history mainly between 1700s-1800s. Thought what a great way to help teach some our heritage. Seeing as how we live in an area that is rich with historical sites and...
