Find a local club and local shop that carries black powder guns and supplies.
The little extra you spend at a local shop will be rewarded with advice, counseling, guidance and friendship.

I would search your local area for black powder shooting clubs.
Ask the local gun shops if any are available in your area, also do a web search for your area.
They are every where and those boys love to teach new shooters the sport.
But I must give you a fair warning, you get started you may not ever stop.
Black powder is a blast, I been at it for just under 30 years and have 3 rifles and am looking at a custom flintlock.
That is the best way to learn, with some one experienced.

Get involved with the National Muzzleloader Rifle Association. They have great info and lots of folks that will be willing to show you the ropes.
