    Possibles bag from buck skin?

    I have accumulated several buckskins over the years with the intent of making a buckskin outfit. I'm too old now for buckskins and sleeping on the ground! Can buckskin be used successfully for making hunting bags, or is it too thin? I have a son, a grandson, and a grand-daughter primed to...

    Misplaced touchhole

    I successfully drilled my first touchhole, but managed to drill it low, and off center! :redface: I think I was concentrating on the drill bubble level and not the drill bit. I shot the gun yesterday for the first time, a .58 cal. smoothbore. Each shot was a definite hang fire, causing some...

    Steep uphill Shot

After each miss, I have stood in wonderment at just what the heck happened! I think I convinced myself that I needed to hold a bit high on this...

    I live at the edge of a big development with open fields and small wooded areas behind my house. I have a mineral block out for the local deer population, and would like to add a feeder to hold shelled corn or pellets for the four to six white-tails which visit on an irregular basis. This is...

    Glad I found your site!

    I've enjoyed reading the comments from around the country, and it is good to join shooters of these assault rifles of the 18th. and 19th. centuries. I started nearly 30 years ago with a TC Hawken I picked up at an auction. As a lefty, the flash in my face turned me into a flinch-lock shooter...
