This week, instead of cap and ball revolvers, we are shooting a beautiful 50 caliber Hawken made by Thompson Center in the 1970's Of course, after the movie sensation of the early 70's--Jeremiah Johnson--Thompson Center capitalized on the mountain man craze and produced these rifles during the hey day of the muzzleloading hobby! This rifle is an oldie, but still is a workhorse on the range. Hope you enjoy my day the the Grand Valley Cap n Baller muzzleloading club with this great rifle!
