About The Artist: Dave Aucker

As a kid, I grew up watching Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett shoot their way across the big screen with a flintlock rifle.  Since that time, I have been interested in the history of and the shooting of muzzleloaders. I made my first powder horn in the late 70’s and have been trying to improve upon that ever since.

To my credit, I have had one of my horns featured in the 1991 Sept./Oct. issue of Muzzleloader Magazine. In the Mark Baker article, The Pilgrims Journey, he talks about the “Common Mans Horn” that he carries.

I enjoy making horns to fit anyone’s persona and like the idea of creating a horn geared for him or her.  A period correct horn accompanied by stylize engraving will accent a person’s gun and accouterments.

I look forward to serving you and your needs as a black powder enthusiast.
