Howdy From the Colorado High Country

[Medicine Bow]

New to shooting muzzle loaders and came across this forum. Hoping to learn a lot. Currently have an Uberti 1873 Percussion revolver and will be getting a .50 cal rifle for Christmas. Have an original converted flint lock that has been passed down thru the family. I've enjoyed shooting for many decades.

Welcome. Depending on where in CO you are, there are several muzzleloading groups around. Check out the Mountain Man store in Manitou Springs. That was my "go to" place when I lived in Colorado Springs.

I can second the mountain man store in Manitou Springs. It's a good shop with some knowledgeable folks. I haven't been there in years but need to get back west.
Welcome from the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, on this snowy morning.

Howdy. Guessing from your username you're from the area around the national forest up there. I've only been on the Wyoming side of the forest but that is some fine country there. Happy shooting!

Thanks. I have a place in Wyoming near the Medicine Bow N.F. and I enjoy the area immensely. Great hunting and fishing.

It's a beautiful place, that's for sure. I was just up there camping, but it would be fun to do some hunting there. And Centennial was the coolest little town I've ever been in. Really friendly folks, especially the fella that runs the Mountain View. If I had to leave Nebraska, no doubt that's the first place I'd look.

Welcome from TEXAS.
My son and I spent 2 weeks 4 wheeling the mining trails in the San Juan mountains, including Black Bear, Imogene, Engineer, Corkscrew and a few others.
It was a wonderful trip and I am very impressed with the Colorado high country.
