    Opening Day

    Our Muzzle loading season opens today. I will be out the door in about five min. It is 28 degrees here this morning. I will be hunting new land with not enough scouting, so seeing anything will be plain luck. So wish me some. Old Charlie

    Bought some lead

    A friend of mine ask a few days ago if I wanted to buy some lead he had . Today he dropped off 186 pounds of pure lead ingots, with the company logo on the top. I Gave him $90 for it. Lead is coming down in price, but I thought this was a fare price on some very good lead Old Charlie

    accuracy with my trade gun

He comments several times that the trappers in his bunch only used the trade gun for running buffalo. That...

    .62 Cal.

    I got my trade gun out yesterday. At 50 yards I was keeping them on the target. This gun has a horrible trigger pull. Would like to lighten it ,but don't know how. I tried a 100 yard shot and it hit two foot and maybe a little more low. That .600 ball was buried very deep in that hickory tree...

    I have been fooling with this .62 smooth bore for months. I don’t have any idea who made it. There are no markings on the barrel. At 25 yards it was shooting two feet low and a foot and a half to the left. I now have it doing pretty fair. The first shot on this target I aimed at the...

    I got out my old TC .50 today. First time I have fooled with this gun in a long while. I had forgotten how much fun she is to shoot. The thing is a tack driver, never mind the target.
