I have a real interest in older weapons, including BP rifles and muskets, never had the opportunity to fire one, and what i dont know about BP muzzle loaders would likely fill volumes. Im looking for someone in the Halifax area that would be willing to the show me some finer points at the range and teach me how to properly handle these weapons. Im willing to pay for the supplies if you can put in the time. Anyone who might be interested send me a PM. im a member of the MVRRC but willing to meet anyone at a range of your choilce near the HRM. Thanks much.

He really takes you through handling both BP Colt revolvers and a variety of musketry.

If you want to learn about black powder shooting - buy a copy of Sam Fadala's book "The Gun Digest Black Powder Loading Manual".
The book covers all the "how to's" and does test shootings of most makes/types of black powder rifles/pistols/shotguns . Including cartridge guns.
