    A little Independence Day salute...

    Off the front porch. My sons and nephews loved it!!! Brown Bess carbine, 100 grains FF Goex with a paper wad. Did it about ten times before we decided to put it away. We can get away with a little more mischief than usual tonight, but why push our luck? :thumbsup: :grin: :grin:

    It's a Springfield kind of Christmas!

    Hello the camp! Greetings from Nebraska Territory.

    Flatwater here. I live waaay out west in the Nebraska Panhandle. I've dabbled or been otherwise involved in muzzleloading since I was a wee one. I primarily shoot flinters, but I've snapped a cap a time or two. I hope to learn plenty and make some new friends.
