Hello from the other side of the planet.

Post by Tourblanche » Sat Jun 09, 2012 8:17 pm

Hello , I live in Québec , the french speaking part of Canada .
I found this forum as I was looking for information about black powder muzzloading guns made in India .

I am involved in historical reenactment and we use many models of gun reproductions made in India .

English is not my first language , so please excuse my mistakes .

No . I just borrow one from our old friend whenever I would not get a chance to deer tag in regular gun season. Most times I just prefer bow hunting than black powder but no offense to any muzzle loader shooters around here. Easier and longer hunting season for deer. In cold weather you never know you be able to fire but again no offense any one - Haji
