    Need advice on a turkey call

    Well I finally got around to making something instead of buying it. Following the directions in a old Muzzle loading magazine I made two turkey calls out of turkey wing bones. Something must have gone wrong because they turned out really nice. I want to give them to my cousin as a gift however I...

    Electric Melter Died

    Being my birthday and all, something had to go wrong. Was setting up to transform some scrap lead into nice little ingots and my melter died(electric). No get hot no more. Not a great loss as I've had it since the early 70's and it was a used one at that. I just know that they must have made...

I'm a dedicated squirrel hunter but have never had a dog along on the hunt. I'm thinking about changing that now. I have trained bird dogs (the...

    Progressive twist rate?

    After reading all the threads concerning slow/fast twist rates, I got this idea :hmm:. Was there ever a rifled barrel made with a progressive rate of twist (starting out slow and progressively speeding up)? Would there be any advantage/disadvantage to this? It may be a dumb question, but no...

    wrong time-wrong place

    Spent all day Saturday out in the rain here in Penna. Sneaking through the woods looking for some meat on the hoof. Saw nothing. Yesterday we went over to Lyons, N.J. veterans hospital(with Rolling Thunder) for a pizza party for the PTSD patients and the hospital grounds were thick with deer...

    rifling twist

    Just something that popped into my mind a minute ago. All other variables being the same, will the point of impact be the same if the rifle has left hand twist rather than a right hand twist? And if not, why? Just wondering. :confused: :hmm: Vern

    Getting closer

    It's the first cool day since last spring, high of 65. The leaves haven't started to change yet but I feel a certain something in the air. Got my .32 and .36 ready. My Pappy used to tell me "boy, don't go wishing your life away", but I still wish that tree-rat season was tomorrow morning instead...

    I'm about a week late introducing myself. I live in eastern Pa. Retired--been into b/p for many years but only since retirment have I had the time to " go nuts" as my wife refers to it. I hope that I can learn some from your forum and that I may be able to share some. Please keep in mind that I...
