Lifelong black powder shooter and gun owner in Portland.

[hazelwould]

Born and raised on black powder hunting in New Mexico. I married a Goonie 13 years ago and moved to Portland 11 years ago. Since then, I was mostly active as a rock climber up and down the west coast (big wall climbing, etc), but got in archery hunting in the last 3 years. I'm a member at Sylvan archery and shoot 2-4 times a week. It's time to dust off my black powder rifle collection. I've been trying to understand the muzzleloader seasons in Oregon and in doing so, my brain gets crushed. It's so confusing. I'm happy to be here and connect with others online and IRL.

Welcome to the forum hazelwould !
Nice to see another muzzle loading firearm fan here onboard.
We have a fairly busy black powder sub forum here that is worth checking out.

Oh man, I used to get drug all over the southwest going to Rendevouz as a kid and teenager. My old man was 100% a cosplay mountain man.

Welcome to the forum!

I've got both flintlock and ball and cap. To say I shoot would be generous, it's been a loooooooong time

I too have done the gatherings a lot in my youth, but found my focus narrowed to civil war and later period Revenue Cutter Service and Early Texas Rangers!

False advertising. Most of the cannons on this deck are loose.

Always room for one more.
