"Track
of the Wolf" For the last ten years I've been
buying a lot of my parts through this company up in Minnesota way.
They have a great web site catalog to explore and are great people to do business
with. The service is prompt and very courteous.
Been buying parts from them when they were owned by Don Eads, then Susie Bicio. Now Ryan Roberts and Terry Jo Mann owns the business and is really working hard by expanding the company and developed a website for their catalog business. They offer the largest and most complete line of custom handmade patchboxes, toeplates, sideplates, and all the other pieces and parts it takes to complete your own muzzleloading rifle or pistol in traditional or contemporary styling.

I get wood and parts from him on occasion and he makes a hell of a rifle. "Bookie" says, "I ain't ever got beat dealin' with Jack. Give him a call."
My Good Friends:
Steve
Bookout ("Bookie")
is a Master Gunsmith who taught me the craft and he is my best friend. Steve's been a long time friend for over 25 years.
Steve is a descendant of the Bean
family and his specialty is building "Hog Rifles" and "Iowa
Rifles". He has
his own shop called "Toad
Hall Rifle Shop" and back behind his shop he has the "Yeller Cat
Forge". It's in the forge where we get even more creative in making
the butt plates, trigger guards, etc. for our rifle furniture. Steve's
written a good treatise on gunmaker's tips you will have to check out on his
site.
Henrik Jørgen
Elmer is an avid black powder enthusiast and a very capable gunsmith.
He is also, one of my good friends who happens to live in Denmark. Henrik has built some handsome muzzleloaders his shop on the island of
Lolland and now has a personal web page to record the process of a longrifle
under construction. In the photo, Henrik is shooting my pistol "Hoot"
at our monthly shoot last Summer. He out shot me with my own pistol! Of
course, him being a Pistol Champion in Denmark, probably helped too.
Besides being the head of the Danish national organization, Danske Sortkrudtsskytter, (that translates into the Danish Black Powder Shooters, the equivalent of our NMLRA) , he's also the foreman of the local shooting club De Falsterske Sortkrudtsskytter and they have a great site. This site also has an English language page. Just for your information, Denmark furnished one of our heroes of the Alamo - Lt. Charles Zanco! He's the fellow who put the star on the Texas flag! We hold annual blackpowder shoots between the Denmark blackpowder club and our club, the Buck Crik Muzzleloaders. We call it our annual "Zanco" shoot. We have a traveling trophy and this has been going on for the last four years, now.
