I’m a long time member but this is my first post. I have shot sidelocks for a few years but never a lot. I’d been focused on raising and training Plott hounds for coon and bear hunting. No more hounds now so been doing more squirrel hunting with dogs. I own two antique percussion rifles; one made by my great-great uncle (Zartman) and one by his nephew-in-law (Hetrick). I plan on moving to PA soon so I recently purchased a TC Renegade flintlock to take advantage of the PA flintlock season. I figured returning to the forum might help me learn about the flintlock. I’ve never been much of a deer hunter but got plenty of time since retiring. I hope to make it to the Sons of Liberty trade show in Jackson Ohio this January. Merry Christmas to all.
