Any Flintlock shooters here?

[IronBrigade]

Just wondering how many people on this forum shoot traditionally? And what muzzleloaders do ya own?
I have:
54 cal. Jaeger Flintlock
50 cal. T/C Hawken
50 cal. T/C Renegade

It would be nice to get together with other traditional shooters here and have some fun. I belong to the NY state muzzleloaders assoc. and we have some shoots coming up, anyone interested let me know.

I just got burned out.  I don't even own a muzzleloader right now but I'll buy something before hunting season.

Have owned a number of flintlocks over the years: muskets, long-rifles, fusils.  Right now I'm down to one all-purpose smoothbore - a custom-built English long-fowler.  Made from Jim Chambers components, 20 ga (.62 cal), and weighs less than 7 lbs.  It has a rear sight, as I primarily shoot round ball through it, but it will throw a nice pattern of shot with its 46" bbl, too...!

PS - I hunt with it, and reenact with it, too...!
