Blackpowder

Just saying the word “blackpowder” conjures up images of mountain men clad in animal hides, blue-coated soldiers fighting the Revolutionary War, and Davy Crocket hunting the hills of Tennessee. But the muskets and flintlocks and billowing clouds of sulphury smoke aren’t just tools of our past. In fact, blackpowder rifles and handguns are a very active facet of modern competition shooting and hunting.
