The saints say....

C'mon and gitcha some!

Hmmm...is there a patron St of muzzleloading?

Pine stock, .50 cal, I put the vent off-set on the side to make aiming a little easier. Looking through a burning fuse makes it hard sometimes!

There is Barbara. The Patron Saint of Artillery. MIKE

"St. Barbara  is the Patron Saint of The Royal Regiment of Artillery. Due to the manner of her death, St. Barbara is also traditionally the patron of armourers, gunsmiths, artillerymen, miners and anyone else who worked with cannon and explosives. She is invoked against thunder and lightning and all accidents arising from explosions of gunpowder."
