"Keeping Tradition Alive"
Keeping Tradition Alive. Shooting black powder muzzle loading rifles and pistols allows one to travel to the early years of our country and experience the types of firearms that our early founders used to provide food for their tables and protect their families from hostile Indians and foreign invaders. The advances in firearm technology started in the late 1400s and began the evolution to modern day firearms. The Flintlock and Percussion cap firearms shown on this web site are very close to using the same technology that began over 500 years ago! I hope you enjoy looking at my small collection of muzzle loading firearms - I know I enjoy shooting them and learning to appreciate them as part of our history and heritage.
