    Look what I found

    I went out to get a load of firewood this afternoon, and look what I found! It’s just a piece of firewood but it appears to be curly! And it’s black cherry! That’s right, not curly maple.

For the purpose of clear, concise communication, I’ve decided to start this thread. Before starting it, I did a search for old threads...

    George Washington

    Ok, I could probably just look this up online, but I’d rather hear from forum members, since I’ve discovered lately that I get way better info on here than a Google search can provide. So here goes… When George Washington made his famous first mission in 1753 to deliver Governor Dinwiddie’s...

    Does your state have a Flintlock ONLY season?

    Here in PA we have a Flintlock ONLY season after Christmas. I’m curious if other states have this? Or is PA the only one?

    Need help

    I bought a TC Hawken flintlock tonight at an estate sale. I pull the hammer back to full cock, pull the set trigger, then squeeze the front trigger, the hammer stops at the half cock position, and the flint does not strike the frizzen. But if I just ignore the set trigger and squeeze the front...
