In the late 70's Hershel was asked to make a rifle for a book series that focused on Appalachian culture, that book was Foxfire 5 of the Foxfire series. This was an inspiration to many at the time and has remained a great resource for the muzzleloading community to this day.
For this class, you will get the combined knowledge of lan Pratt, John House, and Gary Ludwig all are great gun builders in their own right, and you get all three to guide you along your journey recreating the iconic Foxtire gun that Hershel made.
For this class, you will need to purchase your lock, barrel, and a piece of wood for the stock. You will get guidance for these items after you sign up from one of the instructors.
