Howdy. Ron Thompson here,starting round two. Back in the early 70's I bought a CVA kit, that started it all. Have always been a shooter, born into a hunting family and got a Marlin 39M for Christmas in 1956. Learned to reeeealy shoot in the Marines, Parris Island 63'.
Joined the Mansfield (Ohia) Muzzlerloader Club and went downhill from there..from rifled barrels to smoothbores, capguns to rocks. Bought a NW Trade gun in pieces from Curly Gostomski, in Dayton at the time, and put together a few (!) scratch builts after that. When I left the sport I sold everything primitive, tipi, breechclout,leggins',sharp things,you get the idea...and all guns except a T/C Seneca, which just recently started whispering my name.
Here we go again....
