I focus on building black powder accessories for the match shooter, re-enacter, black powder hunter and enthusiasts. I am currently making powder horns and powder measures per order.

Powder measures are made based on the amount of black powder grain you request it to hold. I was born and raised in Wytheville, Virginia. I am a 9th generation Southwest Virginian. My 7th great grandfather was the first superintendent of the lead mines in Fort Chiswell arriving in 1761 at the request of John Chiswell. I am also descended from premier gunmakers Jacob Shaffer and the Honaker family of Wythe and Pulaski Counties of the early to mid 1800s.
