    Ain't gonna take it any longer

    As far as phone calls being dropped and having a hard time getting through to business, that could be covid related too. So maybe the company is doing the right thing and not laying off employees and letting staff telework. The local infrastructure may not be able to support the number of people...

    Hoping to get some quick help

    Sidney people like you are reason the shooting sports are dying in the US. Shooting is complicated and perishable skill. Its not buying skies or a tennis racket. Its a lifestyle. If you can't support and help a neophyte please don't shoot on any range I am on. Gunstores are in business to sell...

    sighting in Pedersoli's Frontier

    Oh and my hold is top of front post even with top of rear notch. Rear notch needs to be bigger.

    sighting in Pedersoli's Frontier

    I widened the rear sight notch on mine. If you look at the rear sight from the muzzle end of the rifle I opened the rear notch to the size of the dimple on that side of the sight. I also deepened the notch a little . I filed the front to maybe a little more than half the original height (mines a...

    Question on trajectory

    I dont want to hijack a thread but on another thread BP hunting was described as bow hunting on steroids. So a prb isnt going to have the energy of a modern HP bullet. I am very much asking too. Light enough and fast enough for full penetration and a good blood trail or slow and heavy for...

    The Preferred Sight Picture?

    So I do both. I grew up as a bullseye shooter so lots of muscle memory for a six o'clock hold. For hunting I sight in on a bullseye target with a six o'clock hold but adjust sight so I'm 2-3" above my point of aim. I dont care if im shooting center if im sighting in for hunting and the bull...

    How to create more interest in traditional muzzleloading.

    I agree with FishDFly. Growing up I was lucky enough to live near a large range with an active Junior Small bore program. I used to get dropped at the range in the AM and shoot all day. There was a large group of old timers that were all retired mostly WW2 through Vietnam Vets. They shot...

    First Flintlock Deer

    My Dads 78. Marine vet, retired steamfitter but he still teaches welding for his union. He taught me how to shoot hunt and fish, especially fly fishing. I ended up being an international level shooter but he can still give me a run for my money with a handgun. When we shoot trap I generally...

    What gun to use.

    If you're like me you tend to have a favorite rifle. My problem lately is they are all my favorite and I want to use all of them. So question. Do use one rifle for the whole season? Do you rotate rifles if you can get multiple deer? which option do u use? A. One rifle for the season? B. Rotate...

    First Flintlock Deer

    Thanks erhunter, The deer walked out of the swap were I could see it about 75 yards to my left and then proceeded to cross broadside directly in front of me. He ended up only being about 30 yards away when I squeezed off the shot. I usually go for the traditional heart shot right behind the...

    Rust In The Bore

    Wow I just posted this as part of a different thread. I disagree with frontiers post. I have a Traditions and a Pedersoli that i shoot and clean at the same time. I clean them both the same way and even putting a wet patch of modern oil down the bore of the traditions i do tend to get surface...
