I bought the first Turpin Video when it was on VHS. I watched that over and over, and it just flat out inspired me to get more involved in building muzzle loaders. In fact, I'm thinking and pretty sure I haven't bought a brand name muzzle loader since watching that VHS video, but I've built many of my own since then, and several for other friends, family, and shooting buds. I highly recommend it!  :lt th

Thanks I was just looking at the new muzzleloader magazine
And he has an ad for 4 DVDs
I will start saving and get those coming
I'll look on eBay first and see if there's some used ones
I really like VHS tapes though haha
Hopefully I can take the plunge and get building
Then I'll have a thousand more questions for you guys!

Lonewolfe20, how 'bout I just send you my VHS Tape. We don't have a VHS player anymore, and I really have no more need of my VHS Copy. PM me your address and I'll get it in the mail to you this coming Wednesday or before if possible.
