Title: Hey Folks !
Post by: Whitetail on January 02, 2024, 09:48:43 AM

Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the site, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 67 year old who loves the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, and just being outside. I've been muzzleloading for a long time, but over the past 10 years or so I've been trad bow hunting only. I'm wanting to get back to muzzleloading along with that. I've used caplocks in all my adventures before, but I'm thinking I want to try a flintlock. Looking forward to all the info and knowledge you folks have.
Sincerely,
Charlie  :*:
