Greetings from Dallas.

[Kmcmichael]

I have recently become fascinated by the American Long rifle and have many questions.
I am retired but spent many years as a small arms instructors for our Uncle. I was also a sponsored skeet shooter.
However, I find myself entirely ignorant and curious about these weapons.
My local range allows black powder and the max distance is 100 meters. I hope to shoot the 8” head plates at that distance . I might participate in some matches in the distant future.

Welcome to the addiction......

Addiction is right. When you go out and shoot at below zero temps like I did last weekend you’re not just hooked on shooting, you’ve crossed into the black powder twilight zone.
