Title: Hello My name is Walt
Post by: GunneyE7 on March 06, 2021, 11:19:57 PM

 I  have been shooting muzzle loaders for about 20 years mostly to extend my Deer season here in N.E Iowa.      not real knowledgeable about all the different rifle types. I have a CVA 50 cal Hawken that has given me Venison every year since I got it. I also have  a Hopkins & Allen 36 cal  under hammer that is my go to tree rat getter, when your old it really isn't how many you get it is about how you get them
I retired from the Marines in 1991 and found a  40 acre patch of woods in the hinter lands of  N.E. Iowa not far from the Mississippi river, got a good wife and 4 kids and 9 grandkids and a great Dog named Jack who likes to wander the woods with me Life is good. When I meet the good Lord I thank  for all my blessing
Hope to get some good skinny from you all

Hello Walt,.... welcome to our TMA website!  :shake
Under hammers are something we don't often hear about around here, and also something I've never personally owned. So tell us some more about that sweet little girl. :)

Plus 1 on the welcome, and there is at least one swabbie here, along with the Army and Marine (do I dare say "jarhead? :laffing) folks.

Hey Walt!

Semper Fi, my friend. Great to have ya aboard. Nice to have another fellow Gyrine in the mix. You will find this group a good bunch of straight shooting folks who are passionate about smokepoles and everything associated with them. Don't hesitate to add a couple of cents to the conversation whenever you have a hankering.
