New Bag Old Horn

(1/3) > >>

Grunt:
After shooting all my flintlocks lately I figured I had better make a horn and bag for my English Fowler. I dug out my leather, cut out and sewed up a bag, built a priming horn and a powder measure. I was going to build a powder horn but as I was digging through my shooting chest I turned up one I built a long time ago. I don't throw away nothin. The bag was built last week and the horn has a saying I scratched on it when I built it it reads  " Powder and Brother Ball, With Sharp Flint we Conquer All, 1980". Both the fowler and the pistol shoot a .615 roundball, buck and ball or shot.

Takes balls to shoot them ol' flinters.  Proud to say I own two flinters and a double barrel 10 ga caplock. 

Nice bag, Grunt, has a real traditional look to it.  Sweet looking horn, too.  I seem to remember a version of your verse on an original  Rev War powderhorn somewhere.
