Technically black powder but a long arm as well.....The most extensive book on them doesn't have southern Indiana listed as having these schuetzenfests ...there was one maker of these rifles who lived in Louisville but no listing of a club in Louisville...mine is plainer than most...iron furniture and the mold that came with is about .38, maybe .40 caliber...the rear sight seems to have glass in it...the front post has a bend at a 90 degree angle in which to set the bullseye on...the trigger breaks at about a half pound...it can only be fired after setting the rear trigger...there is no half cock feature...the stock is walnut with a horn nose cap...weight is about 15 pounds.....the furniture is iron and browned....
Firearms that came to be in the USA came in three flavors: self defense...hunting...war....But then a wave of German immigrants came to the Midwest and showed us there maybe another reason to develop a new kind of rifle....
Germans: hear me out...Schuetzenfest.....
Americans: we're listening
Germans: rifles...targets...beer...brats....
Americans: stop...you had us at rifles...
