I have been a member here for years, I have been a traditional muzzeleloader for years and years. but I never got involved in this forum because I never saw any real traditional muzzle loaders here. . .
If you find a seceret that works and want to tell others about it,thats great.
Well, If I tell my secret's on the internet of all places, they wouldn't BE secret would they
Unfortunatly, I was drugg into the 20th century kicking and screaming, I didn't have much choice in the matter. Even my mother and sisiter agree I was born in the wrong century. Pop, rest his soul, understood the most, they didn't have electric on the home place till he came back from WW2.
The part I dislike the most is haveing to make a daily commute, and labor only 40hrs per week on concrete in steel toe boots. The local "trading post" will not take my furs in exchange for their many grocery items, and the owner of my dwelling place although happy to recieve some choice tender venison, still requires I make payment with this "legal tender" stuff.
Me thinks Mr. FLNT4EVR hasn't studied much of written History. I usta have that idea too, that when folks speak of "primitive", it means obtaining fire only from a lightning struck tree and the only tools I'm allowed are from rock and tree branches.
He's right this is a nice forum on GBO's, but it ain't what it used too be, lot's of purist members have drifted over to a few other places that have been created since the "War's" of years past.
But, traditional muzzleloading internet website, is an oxymoron in and of itself, isn't it? I mean look at another thread, someone want's to shoot conicals in a 1-48 .45,,there is darn little traditional about the gun, let alone the projectile. but it's in the spirit of it all so we make do the best we can.
