Our black powder fleet

Black powder rifles and pistols, reloading black powder, and other information. The smoky stuff.

Our black powder fleet

Toys that Son Of Noisy, Lady Noisy and I played with yesterday. Had a ball in the most extraordinary winter weather and took a third in one event and second in the muzzle loading aggregate :D

Nice work and congrats. Would love to see a larger picture, I can't seem to get a larger version of it. Sounds like some real history there.

You're getting a serious lineup there Noisy.

Shooting your .54 cal BP was awesome :)

Will have to plan a trip to your local range one day...

Black powder shotgun. Nice.

Rare to see one of those, even amongst the black powder crowd.

Bet not many at your BP range have one noisy?

Favorites? Hmmm. The reliable accuracy of the CVA is hard to go past but I will NEVER get tired of touching off the double set trigger on the Sharps, waiting for the smoke to clear, start a conversation THEN hear the dongggg come floating back from the "Big Buffalo" gong 600 yards away! Cant help but giggle every time! :-D

There were ten shooters having a crack at the 5 clay event. One bloke regularly uses a single barrel muzzle loading 12g built in 1847. There are lots of side x side non-nitro proofed damascus barrelled shotguns around and they're cheap as! Usually about $150 and all a little loose in the action but still fun!

They're great looking those damascus steel barrels.
