Who's in California?
I'm a really green newbe from Pasadena, CA. I've been staying up late reading every post here. I do not have a rifle yet, just a Uberti 1851 Navy. I'm hoping I could hookup with one of you guys in So Cali. I'd value any amount of time one of you could spare.

lots
There are lots of California shooters on this board. Some one will jump in here and help you out I am sure. I live down south and have 1 little bit of advice for you. DON'T talk politics with the California boys. Sometimes it causes us to stick our foot in our mouth. Later, David Barfield

Re: Who's in California?
Hi James,
I'm in San Diego and have been enjoying my Montana-made Sharps reproductions for a few years, now. The fun part is deciding what model you want, the bad parts are finding the money and the wait after ordering. But it's all worth it. :)
Below is a listing of shooting ranges sorted by state. You might find one or two convenient to you.

Take care,
Mike

Deerhunts,
Your comment about sticking one's foot in mouth, well thats what Sharpsman did, you know the saying, open mouth and insert foot. Well Sharpsman opened mouth and inserted key board.

Who from California

You're just trying to stir up some BS!
The post was in jest....if you knew the difference!
I figure there's at least 500 BPCR shooters out that way...that know what they're doing!

Sharpsman,
Hummmmmm, jest , well, who would have thought. In jest or not your remark was insulting. Maybe it's you who's trying to stir up the B'S.. DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE? And you knew exactly what you were doing no matter how many face thingies you put in place. You don't insult me and my place of home and I won't insult you and your place of home.
There's a face thingie.

Sharpsman,
I'm going to amend my rebuttle to your post. You say your first post was in jest. I say my first post to you was in jest. Your second post to me was to insult me, there were three insults direct at me in that second post. I inturn insulted you in my last post. It's real easy to let these things get out of hand, as this could, which I for won't let this happen. I've never met you and in all likely hood never will, you don't shoot competitively and have let it be known that you won't shoot competitively. So I, in all likely hood, will never meet you. Now thats not saying that I would never like to meet you because that would be an untrue statement, because we my meet some day and hopefully it would be a pleasent meeting.

Who's in Californis
Hi James M.
Do what Kelly O. says, if you want to get into this type of shooting. Your kind of lucky because the closest BP silhouette, or long range target shooting from me is at least three and a half hours away. I drove those hours to Shippingsberg PA. two weekends ago and it was well worth it. I didn't do very in the silhouette match but I did meet a lot of very nice people, who helped me out quite a bit, and I had a great time.

In addition to being close to Pala you also live in the backyard of one of the best custom mould makers for BPCR, Paul Jones. Paul's business, Grindall, is in east LA and when you're ready to cast your own you should plan on paying him a visit. Not only will he make you a superb mould but he will also show you how to cast with it if you arrange a visit to his shop. Tell him Phil sent you
Come join us at Pala, BPCRS is a kick! pun intended....

Pala sounds great Kelley, how do I get there? I'm definitely going to check that out. Is there a website? San Gabriel Gun Club says they have black powder 200-Yard Buffalo Silhouette Match every second Sunday of the month. I'll look into that too on the 11th. I discovered Fowler's, a store that has quite a few Shilohs in stock. I might buy my "trainer" sharps there while waiting for my Shiloh order, then use their FFL when my ordered Shiloh is ready. I still need everything, I ordered the Dixie catalog so i can circle things, and tear out pages like I did with the Sears Christmas Catalog when I was ten. The budget for the my toe-in-the-water Sharps is up to $1000. Any suggestions? I'll need everything from dies & molds, to a brass cleaner and led melter.. where to start
