We had our fall muzzleloader get together this afternoon, great friends, great food and always fun when these like-minded folk get together and share knowledge about gun building and shooting our relics. The newest reproduction models we shot were probably from around the 1870s, the oldest was a hand cannon designed after one shot in the 13th or 14th century. I brought one that was a replica of a 1750s fowling gun (shotgun) as well as an 1810 version of a Tennessee squirrel rifle. I made both of my guns.
