    Conical for bull elk

    Another thing I was thinking is the peep sight question really boils down to how accurate you are with it. If you're shooting good with it then go with it. I shoot with the stock sites on mine and when that bull comes screaming in on your call...it really boils down to accuracy. Along with...

    Conical for bull elk

    Chasing Elk in the high lonesome of Colorado in September Muzzleloader season is one of my favorite things. I think you're smart using a conical as for years I was bound and determined to bring one down with a patched round ball. I shoot a .54 however what I found is my group accuracy went...

    Cabela's Investarms .54 Caliber Wear Questions

    On a .54 caliber Cabela's Hawken, is there a way to tighten up the front wedge pin? Last year I started to notice while trekking and hunting, the front wedge pin will now start to work it's way out just from walking and carrying it. Not to the point of falling out but a ways to where it needs...

    Colorado event for February

    Good deal and might have to make my way over Saturday afternoon. I know in years past I've picked up some good plunder now and then and always enjoy having a look around and visiting with like minded folks. Good to know about the possibility of maybe participating in a shooting event....might...

    Any idea if the general public is allowed to visit the trader's row or is this closed to the general public?

    Did you draw? Colorado

    Good Deal @longcruise and glad to see that you are into them and picking up some shots/videos. With doing the OTC archery this year we opened the season up at 10,500 feet with hearing some early morning cows followed by a faint bugle. Followed the sound of the cow calls and we dropped down...

    Did you draw? Colorado

    That's a tough decision for sure. With your preferred archery spot being so close, might not be a bad idea but for me carrying a .54 Hawken through the Rockies feels pretty darn good. Not that my Fred Bear recurve doesn't feel good it's just different. Good news is both are in September and...

    Did you draw? Colorado

    I always enjoy your upcoming season threads longcruise and this year we are changing it up. Decided to do Preference Points and then OTC either sex elk tag but for archery (recurve) this year. I'm not the best archer but have been practicing out to 30yds and dialing in arrows/tips. I have a...

    Great Plains Bullet Mold .54 Caliber - Any Ideas?

    With Hornady no longer casting the Great Plains bullet in .54 caliber, is there a mold that anyone can recommend for casting your own Great Plains bullets?

    Symbol on Canoe - any ideas??

    Not a bad idea at all Jake. Maybe even go back with the same barn red color as a way to preserve it if you will. I never met the man that owned this canoe before and painted it but I feel kinda connected if you know what I mean.

    Symbol on Canoe - any ideas??

    Wow...Thank you guys - THANK YOU!! Now I have a decision to make as I just might leave it on there. Thank you all again so much - I really appreciate all the great information, pictures and explanations.

    Symbol on Canoe - any ideas??

    I picked up this little canoe from a lady here local. When I asked about the symbol on it, she shared that her dad painted that on there back in the mid 80's but unfortunately he had passed and she knew nothing about it. She shared that he was into muzzleloading/reenacting and sometimes he...

    Into the Wild Frontier

    I'll watch anything pertaining to the Mountain Man era and I've really enjoyed both of them so far. Looking forward to the others and sure....every production will have something that's not to our liking for one reason or another but I really like what INSP has done here. My mid 20's son is...

    Anyway to dye white canvas tan?

    Thank You All!! I apologize for my absence and I won't bore you with that. Life in general has kept me away from several things including the task of trying to dye it. With getting caught up reading all your input/suggestions I think I might be leaving it and see if father time can help with...

    Bear Paws Anti Rust & Patch Lube

    Do you by chance make them for .54 cal? I checked your web-site and didn't see them so thought I'd ask.

    .54 Caliber Great Plains Bullet Source??

    Thank you guys for all the replies. This has definitely made me rethink about casting my own. I’ll check out what Lyman’s has for a similar mold. This Ol’ smokepole does like GP bullet for sure. Thank you again - I appreciate all the help and input.

    .54 Caliber Great Plains Bullet Source??

    Hello at the fire!! Can someone enlighten me for a good source for buying .54 cal. Great Plains bullets for my 1/48 twist Hawken. After several local failed attempts (Sportman's, local gun stores,etc) I was hoping I can find them online but not having much luck there either. Any Ideas??

    Anyway to dye white canvas tan?

    Thank you guys. All good points/great ideas and I appreciate all the input. It is sunforger canvas so maybe it is what it is. Maybe I'll try and smoke it and see what happens. I'm thinking I could set it up without the stove but open the stove flap and put a small fire inside and see what...

    Anyway to dye white canvas tan?

    For a few years now I've thought about trying to dye (or stain, I don't know..) my 12'x12' pyramid tent a tan or soft brown. I'm just wanting it to blend in a bit with surroundings instead of being stark white. Curious if anyone has done this type of thing or if it's just better left as is.
