I just registered on this site, I live in Wisconsin (near Lake Michigan) and have been interested in Muzzleloaders since high school in the 1960"s. I have an old Dixie 45 cal rifle I bought then - made in Belguim, and two rifles I made plus two Uberti Rem revolvers - one very old 44 and one brand new 36 cal.
If I had more percussion caps, I could shoot them more!

Welcome, Jim! I think you'll find folks helpful and friendly here. I know I sure have!

I live in southwest Missouri near Springfield. I have a whole passel of flintlocks that I use to put food in the freezer. I have a real passion for squirrel hunting but right now my thoughts have turned towards turkeys. I have a big group of jakes that have been scratching right behind the house on an almost daily basis. There is also a herd of their bigger brothers that I have been hearing and seeing lately. I hope they're still around by the time the season opens.

Take care,

Darren

Hi, Jim, welcome from Ohio. Wife and I have friends in Hartford and Juneau and relatives in Mauston. We love Milwaukee, Portage, fish Fry's and cheese curds. I encourage you to try the TMA postal matches that start on April fools' day (pretty appropriate). Watch for info from Nessmuk, he's da man.

Welcome from SE Ohio! As said, or at least inferred, you won't find a nicer bunch of people than on this site, always ready to help.
