Anyone remember The Right Arm muzzle loading shop owned by Ed Leet?
The shop was located in his basement in the Hebron area out in the sticks. LOL!
Not too long after I first visited him the shop closed down.
He would place ads in a free sportsman's paper, or else I would have never heard of him.
His shop was loaded with BP stuff, and I think that it probably took a long time to liquidate his stock.
He told me that he held plate shoots at his house.
Wasn't there a ML group in the Norwich area named the Rangers or such?
I belonged to the Pattagussett Muzzle Loaders in Deep River.
We had a covered range on land bordering Cockaponsett State Forest.
Some houses started being built at an angle behind the range, and some guys were worried about getting sued, even though we had range protection for noise.
We could have realigned the range but the majority decided to sell the land instead.
But they never found a buyer because it would have needed the lead cleaned up.
The club ended up deeding the land to the state because the DEP didn't want to pay for the land either.
I know that some of the guys started shooting at Niantic after our range was voluntarily closed.
I've only been to Niantic for plate shooting a couple of times, because it's an hour drive for me in New Britain.
