Welcome to a great forum!

Where are you in CT? If you are near the SE area, the Niantic Sportsmen's Club hold black powder shoots during the fall & winter months. Check out their web site for info.

Hi Cowboy ,thank you for your kind words. I have a fair amount of primary source documentation for the F and I War in the Lake George theater. While records for this time period can be thin, there is enough information to verify issue of certain firearms / muskets to the Rangers. I will prepare a more detailed posting on the subject soon.
