    Do you prefer a smoothbore over rifles?

    Real life scenario (on a different plane/different time) my first longarm was a 20 gauge shotgun so I could hunt most anything. My second longarm was a rifle for a more defined type of hunting (deer). The issue with today concerning muzzleloaders is that the easier things are tried first...

    Let's see your Belt or Rifleman's knife

    The knife on the bottom has a handle which is from the first deer I got in the 70's, a spike buck. My Dad thought it was worth saving, so I used it for this knife years later.

    NW Trade guns and fowlers

    I had put together a flintlock fowler in the late 90's. I contacted Curley at NSW for a 42" 20 gauge barrel. They had the best price on a smoothbore barrels and had a breech plug already installed. Seemed to me it cost $90. Used a Durs Egg lock and Pecatonica Long Rifle Supply stock (just 20...
