Clean Shot Technologies, Inc. develops, manufactures, and markets new and innovative chemical propellants for the muzzleloading (black powder) market. Clean Shot's primary target markets are muzzleloading hunters and cowboy action shooters.
Elephant Black Powder hit the United States in 1992 and the response has been incredible. Elephant gives the shooter the most accurate, consistent and cleanest burning black powder and we are continually striving to make it the best and most economical black powder.
In the years before the Civil War and World War I, scores of black powder plants started up in Pennsylvania’s upper anthracite region to supply the booming coal mining industries that became the backbone of the region’s economy. To meet the growing demand for black powder, E. I. Du Pont de Nemours of Pennsylvania began construction of the Belin Plant in 1908, and produced the first batches of black powder in 1912. Under DuPont the facility was soon one of many thriving black powder plants within the organization.
For almost thirty years, black powder shooting and the many fascinating activities allied to it have been an important part of my life. Hunting is my primary black powder shooting interest, and most of my activities revolve around that, but historical reenacting, trekking and the study of life in this country in mid-eighteenth century get a fair share of my attention. This page is simply my musings about these interests, my experiences and thoughts about many aspects of the hobby. Because life is more than black powder, a few other topics are included. Hopefully, something here will strike a sympathetic chord with the reader, and add to their enjoyment.
