Howdy!
I got the black powder bug after my friend in NJ bought his PA Long Rifle and test fired it for the first time. He let me fire it, and the bug bit pretty hard!
The only gun I own is a Mossberg shotgun, and I don't hunt. But I was fascinated by the modern day replica of the flintlock type and the details involved.
Now I'm trying to figure out whether to go with a flintlock or a percussion rifle (for target shooting). Everything I've read so far says to go with what you feel comfortable with. As usual, a forum like this will give me some answers and good info from the seasoned shooters here.
So far, I like what I see!
