    I can't wait to fumigate the range with BP smoke once we get to shoot there again just to ensure and nasty germs are gone.
    I love the grin you get when you see someone watching the gun loaded for the first time, then when they fire it you just know they wont turn back.
    I had my first try with Bloke from here letting me try his Uberti 1858 NMA, didn't hit anything but didn't care it was heaven. I then invested in a Pietta copy of the same pistol and have tried various others since, I think a real eye opener was first try at clay shooting with a single barrel percussion gun, being a fullbore target shooter the idea of leading a target was somewhat a new concept, having to lead by twice the amount because it was a BP gun was even stranger..
    Sorry I built my own box and have done several others for people since, its all in the fun of shooting.

    Well done. Club members often tell me they're going to make their own box then a week later have one of mine! If you don't have the tools it's not so easy.
