    RPL L&R Lock

    Has anyone done this to a Traditions Deerhunter? If so, how difficult was it? Or would that be like putting gold-plated hubcaps on a Yugo? Bill

    First deer, with GPR

    Two reasons: First, and most important, my lovely wife, who likes neither venison nor the killing thereof, has allowed me the last three weekends to hunt and deal with the aftermath, and now would like some company (and labor). Second, the last several deer I saw were moving FAST. I'll do...

    First deer, with GPR

    Thanks to all for the encouraging words. The first stew was darn good tonight (my brother-in-law's buck). I think I'll go out for muzzleloader season after Christmas and try again. Bill

    First deer, with GPR

    I just started hunting in 2006 at age 53 (Dad didn't hunt, finally figured out I was old enough to do it myself if I wanted to).

    GPR rear sight

    After settling on a 90 grain Goex FFg load under a .530 ball and pillow ticking patch, I decided to replace the not-so-tough-looking adjustable rear sight on my new GPR flinter with the fixed one. I carefully tapped out the adjustable sight, pulled the fixed one out of its plastic bag, and...

    What flints for Lyman GPR?

    I am eagerly awaiting delivery of a Lyman GPR in .54 1 in 60". What size flints will this take, and where to find them? Thanks. Bill

    Howdy from Ohio!

    Bill here -- 50-something BP-bit shooter. I always loved the looks and romance of flintlocks, and finally bought a Traditions Deerhunter last year for muzzleloader season here in Ohio (I missed the deer with it). I've been working on it hard over the last several sessions at the range...
