Greetings, I was gifted a 50 Cal Hawkins and am in the process of cleaning and buying supplies to get ready to fire it. Prior military and have been shooting for 38+ years, but never a flintlock. Looking forward to the new experience.

Welcome to he forum, I'm new to black powder as well. I've also been shooting most of my life. I have a Hawken although it's a percussion not a flintlock. I've learned so much from this forum just by sitting back and reading everyone's threads. Anytime I've had a question, everyone jumped in and helped me with advice, no judgment. There are some very knowledgeable people on here, and they're very friendly and will to help a "newbie." I'm sure you'll enjoy and learn much as I have. PS. "
Thank you for your service."
 
Howdy from the Piney woods of East Texas ! May I suggest searching your area for a ML club or group to go watch and shoot with . Great way to break in and learn and meet now folks. Will be lots of help and suggestions.
