    After several attempts of getting the light and phone to line up, this is the best I could do. As I described it, it is bright and smooth. I hope this helps.

    Let me see those smoothies

    I used to shoot only rifles. Then I got a smoothie…and then another one, and another. Percussion or flint, I love ‘em. They are no different than any other gun. You have to take the time to learn what they like in order for them to shoot well. But then they are a friend for life. I worked up...

    Pros and Cons of Carrying a Flat Powder Horn

    I had never used a flat horn until a friend made me one. Now it is all I use for hunting. It is a day horn that is small enough to fit either in a pocket or my possibles bag And I love it! I have gotten in the habit of giving it a good shake before leaving to gauge how much is in it.

    20 vs. 12 gauge for hunting

    Which one is better? In my case, neither is better. I hunt partridge with both 12 ga. and 20 ga. Flintlocks using the same load and notice no difference in results.

    Who uses their smoothbore strictly as a shotgun?

    It is past time for you two to take a break...you know who you are.

    Shotgun patterns low

    I had an unmentionable shot gun that was doing the same thing. It was not a high value gun and I had heard about the muzzle adjustment and decided to try it. With a hardened scraper, I went to the range and regulated it exactly as Britsmoothy suggested. Very pleasing results with only a few...

    I hugely enjoy seeing the things guys make to go along with their smoke poles. And besides, it is in the finest tradition to do so! Please keep them coming.

    L&R Locks

    I have an L&R that seemed slow. I called for suggestions, and they said to send it in. It was an older model and they installed a new main spring. It was repaired and returned in 5 days. When it was returned, there was a note telling me to make sure there was sufficient mortise clearance as the...

    Have You Ever Seen a TC 12 guage?

    I have had both New Englanders (screw in choke and no choke) versions. A friend talked me out of the choked one, but I hunt regularly with the other one. 75 gr volume of ffg, three over shot wads, 90 gr volume 7-1/2 shot and one more over shot wad. Shots like a champ!

    When did using 3fg become so popular?

    My choice of granulation is result based. For instance, my 20 ga. throws much better patterns with fffg than with any ffg loads I have tried to date. On the other hand, the 12 ga. and .50 rifle are both definitely ffg guns. Give ‘em what they like.

    Bullet lube that works well for me.

    Oh, how I love this forum! The discussions remind me of the old curmudgeon that got me started in muzzleloading. He was smart, and well read, but hugely opinionated, and shouted it from the roof tops. He was extremely predictable at times. He diverged easily from one subject to another, and...

    Black powdah ‘Bucket List’

    I, too, was in attendance. Great get-together. Didn’t buy any guns but walked in with trade goods and walked out with a few items I didn’t need but sure did want! You might say we both shifted our ballast...
