Long Range Muzzleloading / Re: Are you up to a Revolutionary sized personal challenge?
« Last post by No Powder on February 20, 2026, 12:02:42 PM »I second Bigsmoke's motion to get those guns shot in. I know there has been one invitation sent out after hearing a gentleman was looking to participate in postal shoots. And I know another individual who just joined another forum, who used to be a member of our muzzleloading group. As soon as I can get his phone#, I plan to contact him and invite him to join us as well.

« Last post by Bigsmoke on February 20, 2026, 11:22:39 AM »Well, I got good news yesterday on the 5:00 o'clock news broadcast.
After almost 15 months, our local rifle range is going to be opening again under new ownership.
Of course, last week I just took my rifle stock and the 20 ga barrel in to the gunsmith to convert it to percussion. Is my timing right on or what? It will probably be a month before I get it back. 
So, in the meantime, I guess I should take my 12 ga trade gun and my .45 flinter down there and get them sighted in.
