My other passion, black powder. This is a copy of a firearm that was common in the late 1700's it is a smooth bore .62 cal. (20ga) shoots round lead ball or shot and does both very well. The all around survival weapon. Will take the largest game or small game and fowl. This baby I built and it has taken many of all three

This sweet baby is a copy of a Tennesee Mountain Rifle circa early to mid 1800's and I made her also. She is 50.cal which is bigger than most of the originals. She shoots to 125 yards real sweet with open iron sites and my old eyes

All iron furniture on her as per tradition, my shooting pouch and scrimshawed horn

thought you guys might enjoy, and understand where my head is at in the hunting world. My archery shoppe was named by my friends who used to call me the renaissance man. I might have been born in the wrong time but sure enjoy living in this one ;)

Re: For Blue and Stinkman
 

Willy,

Very impressive stuff my man, but, I really expect no less from you ;).

Reading this makes me want to take a walk in the woods, which I think I'll do this afternoon...

Re: For Blue and Stinkman
 

Thank you sir, I think you should go on a walk about, nothing like it ;)

Re: For Blue and Stinkman

Re: For Blue and Stinkman
 

Thats some top notch equipment there man!


I want to bowhunt elk SO bad!! :o

Re: For Blue and Stinkman
 

Do it Stink, get a couple of buds and do it yourself, thats how I did it with three friends. Don't put it off any longer than you have to. I can tell you hunting out west for big game is the most incredible thing you will do in your life in the sporting world ;)
