Gil,
Good post. I help folks get into the sport by being a volunteer for the Annual Tioga County Youth Field Day sponsored by the County Extension Agency. They limit the participants,ages 10 to 18, to 150 kids. Three years ago we had 5 flintlocks, two years ago 5 caplocks and last year we had T/C Black Diamond Inlines. I still take a T/C Hawken flinter and a T/C Hawken caplock to the event to show the kids the "other" muzzleloaders.
So that retired cop lives north of me, that must be in New York state. Stop by on the return trip delivering the musket and check out my farm.
Adam
