    short starter

    Here's one that should bring about some discussion. I'd be willing to bet that if not all of us, more than 99% use a short starter. Here's my question. How come, in all the books I've read and that show photos, and all the museums over thirty years, that show shooting pouchs with...

    Baby Fox

    Here are some pictures I took a couple of days ago. I had my camera along and ran into this litter of fox pups or I guess kits is the proper word. There were four of them, and three ducked off and hid, but this one didn't seem to be too worried about me. I walked up to within 6 feet of it...

    My Cannon

    Here are some photos of my half scale Napoleon. It's not a nut and bolt replica, but it's a shooter. It's a Dixie tube, and they had the cast iron bore sleeved with seamed water pipe. I took it to a machine shop and had some seamless tubing turned down to fit inside that, and it still gives...

    Deer

    Instead of showing you a picture of a dead trophy buck, I'm going to share this picture of a fawn that I took a few years back during antelope season in eastern Oregon. Creeks (there are a few) and washes in the desert tend to have straight up and down banks, and the desert track excuse for a...

    Shipboard Guns 2

    These are the guns on the Lynx, a Balitmore Clipper Schooner of the type used in the war of 1812. The main battery on the Lynx is composed of 4 six pound carronades. I didn't pay to go aboard, so I leaned over the rail while standing on the dock and took these photos. And finally, here is a...

    Shipboard Guns

    In April my wife and I visited my 99 year old Uncle on his birthday. While we were in Eureka there were two tall ships in the harbor. One was the Lady Washington, a copy of a merchant vessel whose keel was layed around 1750, and the first Yankee trader to call in the Pacific Northwest. The...

    Tall Ships

    When my wife and I took a trip down to California for my Uncles 99th birthday, these two ships, The Lady Washington, and the Lynx were in Eureka harbor and I got some of pictures of them. The first picture is of the Brig Lady Washington. She is 112 feet long counting the spar, or 68 feet long...

    Michael Moore

    This was emailed to me, and I think there are people on the forum that will be interested in it. Personally I can't stand the banana slug, but that's just my personal opinion. NEWS RELEASE 'BODYGUARD BUST' PROVES MICHAEL MOORE IS LESS THAN HONEST ABOUT GUN LAWS The arrest of a man identified...

    Really Big Buck

    This picture was sent to me in an email, along with the following information. "A white-tail buck deer named Goliath stands in the field of Rodney and Diane Miller's farm in Knox, Pa., Aug. 5, 2003. Goliath, a massive buck with a huge rack and worth perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars...

    Hall's model 1843 carbine

    cjmouser started a thread in the general interest section asking about rifles in the mid 1800's. In that discussion the Hall rifle was brought up, and I have some photos and information that might be besides general interest, of interest to cap lock shooters. I left a post for anyone reading the...

    burned some powder

    There was an anomaly (like "Huston - we have an anomaly) in Oregon today. The sun came out, so Rebel and I went out and shot our smooth bores for a bit. This was the first chance Rebel had to shoot his, and it's nice to report that all went well. He shot some fair groups at 25 yards, and I...

    Lepus Oregoniaus near extinction

    This is an old photo of a sub species of jack rabbit that has become near extinct over in the eastern Oregon desert. These critters could gang up on a coyote and kill it, so at one time they thrived. But sadly hunting pressure has sent them the same way as the buffalo.

    It looks like I got it figured out and the picture shows up this time. Didn't neet no tech, just a bonk on the head with a rubber mallet and the 67 year old Norsky figured it out. Ha. If you want to read what the picture is about, go to the other post on the Wolfgang Haga rifle that I sent in...

    Test photo of Haga rifle

    This is a test photo to see if I'm up and running again, that is after the virus, after taking the hard drive down to one's and zero's, after re-booting, after re-installing new programs and all that stuff, does it work. The picture is of a rifle that I've owned for a number of years. It's an...

    English sporting rifle

    Ol Bear 1st is wanting me to show you some pictures of a rifle he built for me about a year ago. Shucks, it could be longer than that, how should I know, I can't remember that far back. He also wants me to tell you how much I paid for it, which proves little bubba likes pain, because I really...

    bowling ball mortar

    When I posted the story of the bowling ball mortar, I didn't know how to add a picture. Now that I've successfully posted one I'll try another. This is a picture of Bill's mortar lofting a 16 pound bowling ball, which you can see at the top of the photo. The hill in the back ground is the one...
