You can always move back! Your family came over early! I’m first generation born here myself.My parents were Mainers. I'm the first in my line born outside of New England since 1635.I blame them...
Thanks for the info and welcome! I’ll definitely look into those clubs to see if they’re still around.

You said it well; it is an obsession. Welcome, and good luck!
That’s probably why I can’t find anything recent online haha

Welcome from northern NH
Howdy from Texas. Sounds like you have a good start on the bp obsession.
I had a CVA Kentucky long rifle in .45 for over 20 years and hunted with it a few times but never killed anything.
Just recently I have added a Kentucky long rifle in .50 cal, a Pietta. 44 1860 revolver, a couple of Hawkins (.45 and.50cal) in kit form ( BTW, the .45 CVA was a kit, very satisfying building it) and a couple of used Hawkins. I haven't even shot any of them yet!

Hoping to. Maybe in a couple of years.

Hello from Idaho. Have a great time shooting. My second rifle was a GPR flinter. Built it from a kit. Learned the satisfaction of a fast lock.
I’d like to build eventually. I think to ease into it I’m thinking of buying a used TC Hawken stock to refinish. Brown/black all the brass. Then add a Green Mountain drop in 54 cal 1-66 twist barrel and an L&R lock.
Nice to find other BP users here in New Hampshire. I'm now a n otherwise happy member of a local gun club near New London but find that there are none but me who indulge the primal urge to blast targets using a flinter and other such paraphernalia. Escorted non-members are welcome, so if you want to join me in a bit of fun, contact the Elkins Fish and Game Club through their web site, give your particulars to them to give to me and I will contact you.
