Just thought I'd say hello since I'm new to the site.  Figured I'd post here since I am a smokepole junkie.  I've been shooting black powder firearms since I was 12, I'm 32 now.......so I have about 20 years experience.  I do French and Indian War reenactments, trekking, and build powderhorns in my spare time. I'm also an avid hunter.  Mostly I shoot flintlocks, although I do own several cap and ball pistols.  Great site, hope to learn a few tips!   :D

Well Ridge,
Let me be the first to welcome you to the site.  So the French and Indians had a war a while back? I musta missed that one.  They didn't teach it in the 5th grade, I know cause I made it that far before I got drafted.
(Bet the Indians won!)
