Here's a link to the online version of the article:

Nice to see traditional blackpowder rifles showcased in a mainstream hunting/fishing publication.

I see my double lid  29 caliber that Hershel built for Bob Filson is pictured in that article.
Good read.

Pretty neat article one of the many over the years about a backwoodsy icon of the contemporary traditional muzzleloading movement! I kind of chuckled about Hershels phone number mentioned in the F&S article! He rarely ever answers it! :o

There was also an article on Hershel in the May 1995 Field and Stream titled House of rifles. Don't know if it
is online or not it is a decent article with more rifle pictures.

Great article! I'd rather squirrel hunt than deer hunt myself. You get in a lot more shooting. Thanks for the link Larry.

Took a deep liking to Hershel in a u-tube video.  Wish he would show up at Friendship in a couple weeks.  He's a legend in his own time.
