HowDee! Please sign me up. Have been shootin cap and ball since 1972 with the purchase of a '51 Colt in 44 caliber-it met a tragic end in a fire. Currently shoot a '51 Colt Navy in 36, an 1860 Colt Army and 2nd Model Dragoon, both 44's, and a '72 Open Top in 44(shoot black out it in 44 Colt and smokeless in 44 Special). Love shootin the "old timers", if more people who shoot firearms would give em a try, willing to bet that they'd be hooked, if they could endure the clean-up after the shootin.
