The Complete BlackPowder Handbook

By Sam Fadala

Anyone read it or own it?

I like books but some of the "how to" books leave a lot to be desired.

Amazon has them on sale.

I have it, and read it. Was a good book, but seems kinda basic to me. There is some really good info, but doubt I will pull it off the shelf and give it much more than a glance after the first time. Got it on discount, so am not hurt.

That's what I was looking for. Thanks

In my 28 years of shooting black powder I've found that Fadala doesn't have a clue about anything to do with black powder.

He doesn't know a lot about bowhunting either but that doesn't stop him from writting books.

Hey Noz! You would probably be better served by getting a copy of the book put out by SHOOT Magazine entitled, BLACK POWDER AND THE OLD WEST. It only addresses percussion and cartridge weapons but you probably already know enough about front stuffers anyways.

See Ya Saturday at Cassville. Weatherman says it will be a wonderful day. God Bless and shoot safe.

Noz, I've got the Fadala book if you want to borrow it.

Yeh, Fingers. I'd like that. Maybe learn something.
