Sounds good. Blackpowder very popular in my area. Local club has very large event every labor day weekend. Stones Trace.
You can't be far from me then. That is less than 10 miles from my house.

Looking good, early 19th century (1800 to mid 1820s). Do you prime from the main horn, or do you have a priming container in the shooting pouch?
Looks to me like you nailed it. I figured you had period eyewear, or used contacts, during reenactments.
I prime from the main horn, even with my Bess. But the, I use 3f even in the Bess. For some reason, I get better accuracy with 3f than I do with 2f.
From what I can see in the photos, you did a great job on the knife and scabbard, any chance you could post a photo or two of the knife and scabbard, so we can get a better look?
I plan to go to Noblesville in Feb for the Conner show and Kalamazoo in March. Never have been to the Conner show before but I know Kzoo is good.RustyHornet,
No time like the present to get into the hobby. But be for warned, it is addictive! And like most hobbies, it can get expensive. Lol
Well aware of the expensive part.... That's the main thing holding me back, funds just aren't there for it right now. I had planned on making it to friendship this year but wasn't able to. I've driven past a muzzleloading place north on US33 heading out of Fort Wayne I'd say probably about 45 miles or so, have never stopped because I was on work duty. This possible the place you're talking about?
Just purchased this new CVA Hawken 50 cal muzzle loader for $100. I took it out and sighted it in at 50 yards and it not only shot great but recoil was very lite. I am starting to wonder why I gave up M/L 10 years ago. Well at least I returned.
