Hello from California from an Oregon Boy

[trimpert]

Just checking in...new to the group...in the service and currently stationed in the Los Angeles area. I do most of my hunting in Oregon (where my wife's family lives) and Alaska (where I have been stationed twice). Have some marginal blackpowder experience and just jumped into the flinter world with both feet. I have an Allen Martin Lehigh flinter "in the mail" to me currently. If I can figure out how to post pictures I will put them up.

Hunt safe and shoot straight!

Welcome Caliorelaska boy. I know it gets confusing... :hatsoff:

Welcome to camp! And thank you for your service to our country! :thumbsup:

Well, sir, I thank you for your service, and welcome you to our camp!

When I was stationed in the Los Angeles area back in the 70's, smog was so bad at times you couldn't see across th' street. Can't immagine it's getting any better- but it'll be great training for black powder! I used to immagine what it was like on some of the battlefields of the 18th and 19th centuries; have to take my hat off to those guys.

Fergit the "fog of war", I was lost just wandering around Camp Pendleton!

it sure does...10 moves in 19 years...tend to forget where you are...almost done though...will be time to retire in the next few years and settle down in Oregon..

Amazingly, the smog is much better...the liberal politics...well, lets just day the Californians are a pretty interesting bunch of folks...beautiful state...weird politics

Hi Michael, welcome! Thanks for your years of service, that's a big sacrifice. I'm sure you will enjoy your flinter and you can pick up all the pointers on shooting/cleaning you need right here. Please do post pictures when you are able.
