Hello from Texas

[Rick Tuttle]

I'm brand spankin new to muzzle loading. A mere babe in the woods so to speak. I have probably about 40yrs. experience with modern rifles but this is all new to me. I look forward to my new endevoure as well as learning all I can on this forum and hopefully making a friend or two along the way. Rick Tuttle

Welcome Rick. What are you shooting and where. I shoot over at the Quail Creek Range on 35-W at FM 1171. Good range that is accomodating to ML. Don.

I also just joined today. Also from Texas. I have a friend who introduced me to muzzleloading and need to learn a lot I'm sure.

Actually guys, Alpine is a gun range in Southeast Ft. Worth. But it would sure be fun to hook up and shoot with some fellow muzzle loaders sometime.

Rick, my best friend lives in Mesquite, my dad lives in the woods in Montague county, where we have our deer camp. My friend and I are going old school this year, I'm using my 58 cal musktetoon and he his 54 cal T/C Hawken, gonna smoke out some deer meat this fall. He killed a real nice buck there last yr, I'm jealous and gonna out do him this time.

If you wanna meet sometime and shoot lemme know.

Welcome from a displaced West Texan. For us, Alpine is beyond Ft. Davis, not in Ft. Worth! LOL

I too, have just joined and spend my time reading the various postings to try and learn something. Do not have a ML firearm as of yet so am an armchair participant! One o these day!

enjoy the forum. I do!
