Everything you need for your first trip to the range with your Hawken

Now that our Traditions Hawken is built, and we have a shooting pouch to carry our tools and a powder horn to carry our powder, it's time to head to the range for some fun. This is the muzzle loading cross over event of the year as we bring all of our winter projects together for some fun at the range.

For centuries, firearms have been intimately involved in the fine art community. They provided a canvas for sculpture, engraving, carving, and aesthetics only limited by man's imagination. Shown here are art objects from two prominent firms whose imaginations showed no such limitations.

“Been busy with a different shooting sport and hadn’t done much with my black powder pistols in a long time. Dug them out today to dry fire them and now I’m itching to get them back out to the range some day. Wanted to share this revolver. A fantastic shooter. Helped bring me three revolver championships in a row as well as a national record. Good times. Can’t wait to visit friendship again some day.” Thank you Jason Gregoire for sharing this with us.
