Black-powder gear takes sportsmen back to a simpler time, when Western game filled the plains and mountain men cherished a rifle that could deliver one good shot.
Instead of choosing a sporting rifle like the Hawken, this video shows the use of a Civil War rifled musket and takes you through the bullet-making process, powder storage, and accuracy tests before heading for one of the lesser-known deer species: the Columbia whitetail.
If you like things primitive, you’re in for a treat.
