At the age of 60 years I started shooting with the muzzle loader 11 years ago.
First with a flintlock rifle, in our country you shoot at 50 m.
Standing freehand, but that didn't last long before I switched to Unterhammer pistol.
15 shots at 25 m one-handed.
But you can only do that on a licensed shooting range.
Here in Germany you can buy muzzle-loaders for free from the age of 18 years.
This does not apply to multi-shot weapons like revolvers.
For the black powder you need a special permit, a 2-day course with exam, an examination by the Federal Criminal Police Office, an examination by the Federal Motor Vehicle Department (alcohol and driving) and the district must approve everything.
Must then be re-applied for every 5 years.
To belong to the black guild you have to do a lot of things.
Here with us there are also a lot of people who are engaged in reenactment.
But that's not my thing. It's too meticulous, I like it loose.
I give a wide berth to guides, flags, gurus and people who want to tell others what to do.
I have my family with my grandchildren, that is enough excitement.
Apart from that I have a lot of other things to do, hobbies to say I am outraged,
I am too much of a craftsman with solid training and good tools.
Woman calls, enough information for today.
With us one says
With powder and lead
