Hunter? Reenactor? both? Other?

[Mr. 16 gauge]

I'm just curious as to those of you who like to shoot traditional BP firearms....why do you do so? Do you just like hunting with them, are you just into reenacting (F&I war, civil war, War of Independence), or are you just into shooting?

Me? I am pretty much just a hunter, although I like to try and make it as traditional as possible as far as my equipment goes.....no plastic, if at all possible. I cast my own projectiles, and keep my 'speed loads' loaded up in glass vials topped with a cork. Make a lot of my own 'stuff', including ball bags, ramrods, ect. However, I draw the line when it comes to traditional clothing on a hunt....I'm too old to give up my rubber boots, gortex gloves, and polypropylene long johns. I do, however, wearwool pants and a red 'voyager' hat while hunting with the muzzleloader.
I enjoy watching the reenactors, but I just don't have the time to do that right now.
I have a buddy who is just a shooter....he likes shooting BP, as well as older, antique firearms that he has repaired, and older military rifles as well.

BTW: The poll is set up for multiple choices, so if you do more than one, you can vote for all that you feel apply.

So, what's the skinny on the rest of you?
