    Minnesota grouse hunt

    Spent 2 weeks in Minnesota walking after dogs looking for grouse and woodcock. I've killed woodcock locally with my muzzloader but never a grouse. My goal was to shoot one over a point. Did plenty of missing but did bring down 2 grouse and some woodcock. I really could use a spotter as it's...

    Blackpowder hare

    Spent the day hunting with my neighbor and his beagles in the short Pa season for snowshoe hare. The morning was slow, but picked up in the afternoon. The dogs finally struck scent, and the hare quickly took them 400 yards out. Then it was fun and games as the hare teased them out another 500...

    Caps popping off

    Shooting my Pedersoli SxS tonight, the caps kept popping off the left nipple when firing the right barrel. Any suggestions to keep them on when both hammers are cocked?

    Range rod

    Now that I have patterns figured out with my SxS, I'm ready to start having fun shooting at clay targets at our local 5 stand. Any suggestions on what type of range ramrod to use and where to get one? Track of the Wolf? Also, can someone tell me the nipple thread size for Pedersoli shotguns...

    Where oh where are the shooting supplies

    Was hoping to shoot my new to me 12 gauge this weekend, but after a call yesterday, the shop recommended to me is out of caps and FFFg powder. Now I could try another store, but they are known for price gouging and playing games with their supplies, so I'll just wait it out. So I'll spend the...

    Restorations, what to look for, what to avoid

    Jumping off the other restoration thread, what do you look for in a restoration project and what should you avoid? How badly would the bores be rusted to not attempt a restoration, and how much rust can be removed, provided there is enough barrel thickness? If the locks arent working, cant...

    Love the pic Feltwad posted of is sxs flintlock smoothbores, now I need to know more. Were they a common hunting weapon, and if so what period of time? Was this something mostly found in England, or did it spread out from there. Were good shooters really able to get off two shots at flying...

    Removing chokes

    Can it be done on older smoothbores like it can be done on modern guns? Or can they be lessened, like opening up a full choke to modified; modified to IC?

    Smoothbore for hunting birds

    Dont own one, never shot a muzzleloader. But looking to get one this year to shoot woodcock/grouse over my dogs. Now the questions: 1. Percussion or flintlock? 2. Single barrel or double barrel? Looking at fowlers, they all see, to have long barrels, which would be tough to carry and swing...

    Happy snowy day from central Pa.
