My Dad has been into muzzleloading shooting and hunting since the '70's. I've been into it since I started hunting way back in 1980. Over the years we've been going to Dixon's shop for supplies and black powder gear. They have been putting on a gunmaker's fair for a few years now. This is the first time we've gotten out there for it. It was a pretty cool thing. They had displays of all sorts of antique firearms, supplies, knives and all sorts of other stuff. They had a blacksmith there and we even got to see them making and rifiling black powder barrels. Really interesting stuff.
I even played around with some video for the first time. Here's a couple short vids loading and firing a reproduction 19th century cannon.
Cheers!
Mike
