RE: Looking to get into Blackpowder.
If you can goto a show that has alot of differnt ones. I have a old T/C Renegade .54cal Sidelock. It might not shoot 200 yards, but it can drop a running deer at 100yds. The ren just felt like a part of me. I have been shooting smoke for 20yrs now, and I love it. 1 Shot ..1 kill.. The smokepole to me is the best way (other then my bows) to hunt, Why you say. I'll tell you. You can shoot a animal from 5yards away, but that animal has to be right on top of you to hurt you. 1 Shot thats all you get sometimes. God I love the sport. Good luck in finding you smokepole, I know you'll love it.
