wow.....i thought there was a pain in the butt process to clean and such....i love cleaning guns(dont ask why...and im real anal about it and if they dont shine they arent mine! lol) i thought BP would make me hate it....sounds rather simple...so i learn to take my gun apart and im good to go with this muzzleloading stuff! i ant wait to get my gun so i can order my supplies and get shooting!! october will come fast and i will get to hunt with it too i plan! i cant wait!! i think friday if dads not busy i will pick up the gun....order my stuff friday night...have them next week and be shooting as soon as a guy i know has time to take me and teach me....i think i can do it from all tehe reading...but hes been hunting forever and will teach me neat tricks and easy ways of everything and teach me how to do it all properly im sure.....i cant wait....i might not even hunt with my rifle this year if i can shoot my flintlock good enough!
