I know.
Hunted the Church Creek area alot in the 70s. MiltonM's property.
Was never happy with buckshot in my limited experience,but I can see its advantages in the marsh.
Thanks! Now I've got to try to work up some BP loads!
Like I don't have enough to keep me busy.

You think you've got it rough, look what I found!

I think I may have changed my mind on guns already and it's only been a week of looking. And I'm already into kits!!!!  Found a good muzzleloader forum/site, too, with tons of info for older style guns. http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/fusionbb/index.php?referral/11959/
I have a funny feeling we'll have to get a Buckwild Blackpowder forum page going on here...

Went to another shoot with those fellas today. Didn't take my gun to shoot, just went to look at guns and do some brain pickin'. Makes a difference having spent the past 3-4 weeks on websites looking at styles and locks and info and such.
This shoot was cross-sticks, shooting sitting using crossed sticks as a rest, 70 yards at paper buffalo targets - some pretty good shooting! Was at their home range, too, pretty place.
And I've got directions to the group that meets every Wednesday night to build longrifles - time to sit in, watch and soak up all the info I can.

If you have not bought a rifle yet stop and see Ron Griffie first. He just got out of the hospital and still has rifles to sell from a private collection. Many of them he made.... Some I made. JW

On my 5th build now, got plenty to keep me busy!
