    Rifles of the 1830s

    Col. Dodge is in his Ranger "Uniform" {Which was no real uniform}; not yet changing to his Dragoon uniform, and the hunt occurred on the Leavenworth/Dodge Dragoon Expedition to the Plains tribes near the present site of Fort Sill. Thus his need for the pistols & sword.

    Range time

    It's the Invest Arms South Paw version, I got used from Track of the Wolf. At about 25 yards or slightly less I was shooting a bit high; but, I still need range time if the weather cooperates, I was drenched by the time I quit. (internal moisture source not external)

    Range time

    The challenge with the safe side was getting the Great Pyrenees to quit sitting beside the target.

    Range time

    Just a quick note after finally taking out my Cabelas Hawken last Friday. Loads of fun cut paper, definitely need to take it out more. About the fifth shot I tried to see how a cut at the muzzle ticking patched ball would be, but dry balled it; and I must thank all who've posted the advice to...

    blunderbuss use and range

    I remember several years ago seeing a pistol sized blunderbuss at the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa that was listed as being used here in the Indian territory during the Civil War. It would have been quite a close quarters combat for this to be effective.

    Hunter Safety Today

    This thread brings to mind a Tex Avery classic: Field and Scream; http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8bk64_field-scream_shortfilms. Mandatory hunter safety courses have helped not near as dangerous as a very long list of other sports.

    Confederate Indians

    When the Wolf Came is a good general work to begin to understand the War here in the Territory. The Chronicles of Oklahoma have several articles on the different aspects of the war at...

    Personally I think he would prefer you scrape a local stone. Enjoy the final decision, and the chase.

    Found Chert

    Thanks for all of the replies. I currently don't have a camera, I know I need to get with all of the most current technology, but I'm working diligently to get with the historical technology first. The pieces are of various sizes, most of what I have picked up from the county road are mostly...

    Found Chert

    Recently there was a load of gravel spread in front of the house that was loaded with chert/flint to the detriment of tires on multiple vehicles. Would this be useful or would it be too weak since it has gone through the rock crusher?

    Wow!! Fancy!! I just discovered that after clicking to get to the large image, scrolling your mouse's wheel will zoom for an examination of the detail.

    HEY SOUTHPAWS

    One question I have is was there a determination of the ethnicity of the corpse. I have seen several places that leftys were common among the Indians; was wondering with the bells and beads in the grave. Either way it is an interesting piece of history.

    canteen ?

    Ah giardia, the lovely organism passed by the mountain man's favorite prey. Kinda the beaver's revenge for the European appitite for felt top hats. When I was an undergrad I had a Parisitology Class in which the professor told of another in the department who consumed giardia tainted water...

    check out the latest NRA issue

    I just ran out to the shelf and picked this up. This article and the preceding one on the relative marksmanship of the Americans are very interesting, I would have liked to see more documentation of resource materials, but very good overall.
