Default My Testimony At The MAA Meeting

Hello, my name is Semisane. I've been a member of Muzzleloader Addicts Anonymous for many years. I attend all of the meetings. It does not help.

As hard as I try, I cannot seem to abstain from purchasing muzzleloaders.

I admit it - I am weak. Yesterday I bought another one I don't really need. HELP ME!

Very cool rifle. And with that twist it should be a round ball wizard shooting machine.

And I know your pain. I suffer from the same disease.

Boy that is an oddity! But the bore looks to be in excellent condition. I can't wait to see a shooting report. That is if you can pry yourself off the couch in this heat.

Lots of people think they are ugly. To me, simplicity is beauty, and these are about as simple as they come. Three moving parts, the hammer, the trigger, and the spring trigger guard.

To top it off, they are a uniquely American innovation.

You know I like peep sights, and this one is a dandy with three aperture sizes.

That peep was the first thing I noticed. I saw the "adjustable" aperture right away.

Actually those H&A underhammers were rather common in my neck of the woods when I was in high school. They were made by Numrich Arms in West Hurley NY, about 2-1/2 hrs. east of where I live. They're getting tough to find, especially in good condition. I know a few fellas who still have theirs that were purchased back in the early 70's.

You think so Devil? Well, perhaps if you're anally tied to your spell check. But not for common usage.

Take a look at the title of this forum.

Now type "muzzle loading forums" (two words) into your search engine, then type in "muzzleloading forums" (one word) into your search engine and compare the results.

Here's another one that might confuse you.

Now I for one will say that the picture represents a perfect example of a prime "White Tail"!! Although I'm surprised you got away with posting it...
