Another Texican

[6thtexas]

I have just got back into BP after a long hiatus. I was a hard core reenactor for 4-5 years and have hunted some with muzzle loaders. I have an italian Parker -Hale 1853, a defarbed 1842 Springfield smoothbore, TC New Englander with both rifle and shotgun barrels, a ROA in stainless, an iron frame Mowrey .45 that has killed some deer, CVA Mountain rifle also a .45 that my 16 year old wants, and a H&R Huntsman in 12 ga.

I think shooting BP guns is relaxing and maybe even therapeutic. I spent part of 2 afternoons this week tossing .690" RBs out of the New Englander shotgun barrel and smoking up the ROA. I shoot pretty often but that was the most fun I have had in a long while.

This seems to be a fine forum with a lot of knowledgeable folks on it!

Howdy Tex, from one Texican to another.
I knew Bill Mowrey, and have spent many hours in his shop. You don't see many of his iron framed rifles.

Welcome from Georgetown Texas, there's a lot of us from Texas here. I used to be a member of 8th Texas Cavalry many years ago. Do you still do any living history type activities?

 

[6thtexas]

I haven't done any living history for many years.

Thanks for all the kind welcomes!

Welcome back to the hobby. My TexiKan handle is because I am a direct descendant of a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence but I live in Kansas, thus the Kan part. Hope you enjoy your shooting.
