Wow!

Life is too short, buy a Kibler and enjoy the pleasure of shooting an accurate and reliable flintlock!

Nice job on the stand!

Good for you, keep it up and you'll have hunting/fishing buddy for life!

Lucky you! I've been on the lookout for one but don't expect to find a new one.

Interesting project, how are the maple spacers growing on you?

Hoorah! Time to stock up on some .480

Just working up the notion to try my hand at the same thing!
