HuntingCelt 1 Posted August 17, 2012 Can anyone recommend some resources (books/video/websites) that describe the history and development of muzzleloaders? I've googled abit but thought I'd post the question here. I'm in the market for my first blackpowder rifle. I intend to start with a flintlock and eventually get a percussion cap rifle. I'm trying to schedule the trip to Dixon's for the purchase of the flintlock and I would like to be as prepared as possible. Any help or directions is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smokin .50 1,907 Posted August 17, 2012 Mark, I think the best way to learn is by doing. Shoot a couple matches with us @ Garden State Black Powder Association. Some of us can loan you what you'll need to shoot the match. Figure-out through chatting with others more knowledgeable than I about flintlocks as to what to get. I shoot only percussion, but plenty of flinters are always at our shoot. I would imagine that at least one flintlock pistolero will be there on the 26th as well. After shooting & asking questions, you'll have a better idea as to what to buy both gun & supplies-wise. Hope to see you soon! Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
