Hey guys, I just got a .45 Caliber Black Powder Muzzle Loader Rifle. I'll have to bring it with me, and let you guys try it out. It's a really soft shooter with a lotta "BANG"!!!

No really, the Black Powder Makes for a nice "Shove" rather than a "Sharp Blow". The Smoke makes for good dramatic effect as well!

Since I just got it today, I'll have to go and learn how to use it, but it's easy enough to learn.

If any of you got a Black powder Gun, bring it along! maybe we can all learn something from each other!

FMJ911, Black powder is easy to learn, but at the same time there are a bunch of caveats that must be followed. It is also easy to seriously damage yourself and the firearm. I have shot front stuffers for over 40 years, and shoot competetively with black powder cartridge rifles. Any questions you may have, I will probably have theanswer or know where to find it.

Ok guys, the shoot is nearing, so get all your stuff in order! I usually have everything ready the week before just so I "Grab 'n' Go" On the day of the shoot. Any questions, just ask!

I guess I was asking for the ones that wanted to meet up on the way down and go down together.
