    Powder Preference Question

    FFFg works fine for me in the pan. no problems with ignition. But when the powder in the horn is getting low, it seems a pain in the A to shake out what is wanted, where it is needed and not have it all over. That is when I like the FFFFg in the little charger. Neat,acurate and thrifty. Plus I...

    Maine Powder House

    I have only dealt with the Powderhouse twice. Once to order 10# of Goex, with the hazmat it was $20 a #. Very quick delivery. No problems no complaints. Another time a buddy and I decided to take a road trip to get powder, we called a couple days prior to tell him to expext us. Not a huge sale...

    left hand gun shooting right handed

    Being a Lefty, l can say what I was told about my complaining about the right hand world. "You're crazy, get over it." When most everything is righthanded you adapt. Scissors, can openers, tools and even underwear, yes underwear, look at the fly and think about it. I finally got some lefthanded...

    How did you get into the BP Sport and why choose Flintlocks

    I shot a friend's flintlock a few years ago and knew right then, I had to have one. That same friend has built a .45 quassi SMR and a 20ga fowling gun for me. I find the whole aspect of the flintlock very enjoyable. Cool or what? RFMcD

    Smugglers Notch Biathlon Going Away

    I am sure am glad that I made it to one. It was great fun and was hoping to do it again. I thought it was a well run event and plenty of shooters. Sorry to hear of its demise. RFMcD

    Finally - Treasure Island done correctly

    I am a big fan of Wallace Beery, so you have to take my opinion as a fan. Beery as Long John was right on the money. That old movie was quite true to the book. Not like most movies today that are just loosely based on the book. And Ben Gunn, whoever played him, was inspired. "Says I". I guess...

    turkey calls

    I was right. Drove the bride and the dog nuts and it didn't take long either. Practicing the diaphragm on my commute. Quite funny actually when I'm not gagging on it. Starting to sound like a turkey to me, don't know if I sound like a turkey to a turkey though. We usually have a flock that...

    turkey calls

    So I think that a box call and a diaphragm are where I will start. I am surprised that the shaker gobbling ones are not mentioned. Is it mostly hen imitations that are used? Time to get those calls and practice and hope I can get out soon to work up a good pattern. I tried tow as both an OP and...

    turkey calls

    I am getting all hepped up to try turkey hunting. Don't know a thing about it. I see many turkey calls of different sorts and am wondering which one would be the must have and maybe a second.I have my new custom 20ga flintlock fowling gun that I am yet to figure a load for, this winter has not...

    Birdseye maple for fullstock?

    I have a pseudo Southern Mountain built with birdseye. Not heavily eyed though, there is some different sort figure in it that saved the day. Still looks lovely. I know of another that is heavily eyed and it looks fantastic. It is the rifle that made me want birdseye. Go with the birdseye. You...

    Nit Wit, tell us about the biathlon

    Lack of shooters is the story. the range here in Blue Hill had a black powder shoot every month last summer. There were quite a few guys shooting old .45-70s and C&b pistols but for muzzleloaders, there were two of us. Easy way to win the Hancock County championships for the two of us. Dave in...

    Nit Wit, tell us about the biathlon

    Too bad about PLR. I know how it is with clubs, very hard to get people to take part in the running of things, the salmon club I belong to has 90 members and about a dozen who make it all stay afloat. What will happen to the club house and range? I probably won't be doing any shooting this...

    Nit Wit, tell us about the biathlon

    How was the biathlon Nit Wit? I couldn't make it to Jeff, feeling too poorly. The weather here on the coast was nice, how about in those Green Mountains? Cool enough to keep the sweat off I hope. Cheers RFMcD
