    Boiled Chicken Feet

    When I was but a young lad my Suisse/German Grandmother would make boiled chicken feet and they were so good that there was quite a rush to the platter when they were ready. This usually happened shortly after the big chicken butchering weekend in the fall of the year. Last week while on my...

    What is your favorite patch material?

    I have a rifle my brother gifted to me years ago and I have not shot it yet. I have been looking for some linen fabric and I am learning linen is near impossible to find these days in Minnesota. What is your favorite patching material for shooting out your muzzleloader?

    Caud E. Fuller Collection

    Many years ago in the 1960's I checked out a book at the library that was about the history of guns and it was written by fellow named Claud E. Fuller.

    What is the coldest temperature your flinter went bang in?

    With The Iditarod-The Last Great Race on Earth, just three weeks away, it got me to wondering just how cold is the practical limit of making a flintlock go bang.
