I wish I would have seen this thread earlier....I have a prior commitment and am unable to make it to friendship this year...maybe next year I can clear my plate and make it.
And the winner is ?????
It was still undecided when I had to pack up and leave. Too much going on and I didn't get to shoot with them.
I delivered the trophy plate and hung out with the group for a few minutes. They still had 4 or 5 targets to shoot tho when time ran out for me.
I'm sure we will find out who the winner is soon.

What a fantastic day at Friendship. Our Forum Woods Walk had quite a twist this time. Jr. Shooter Jake took home the plate with LeonIowa in a tie broken by consecutive hits.
First time woods walker Don Steel showed us all up by cutting the card with his new "left handed" Mike Davis Flintlock.
I was shooting my new 20g Smoothbore which was a blast!. I had one of my better scores using it! As you can see in the photo, it is taller than Tecum-tha (which ain't saying much).
We had perhaps the best weather of any day I have ever experienced at Friendship.
Look forward to seeing everyone in the Spring!

Congrats to Jake on winning the match! Sorry we could not stay for the woodswalk this time, but we did get to see several of you, and had a great time. Looking forward to seeing everybody next year.
Steve, when I saw you guys on the bridge, I assumed you where going to be in the match. Elmer told me later that you had to head home!
Hope to see you again in the spring.

Way to shoot Jake! :thumbsup:
Hey, can any of you guys that were there, tell us more about the woodswalk's set up?
How many targets, ranges, size, color and kind of silhouettes, level shots, downhill shots, etc, etc?
As many times as I've been to Friendship, I've never stepped foot on the woodswalk trail.
Thanks for your time, Skychief

Grats Jake! :hatsoff:
It changes a little from year to year...
About 17 targets plus a paper tie-breaker.
Ranges from about 10 to 70 yards.
Sizes from split a playing card to a 1.5 x 2.5 foot steel buffalo.
Charcoal on a string, crossed shish-kabob sticks, several 4" circles inside bigger steel targets, a big donut, a "horseshoe" about the size of a toilet seat, pig, ram, etc...
This year the steel targets were white. They have been blue or orange in the past.
Level or up hill. Level footing or not.
It's a good shoot.

Thanks Jethro, just what I was looking for. :thumbsup: :hatsoff:
I was there Sunday and I remember your Tri-Corn. Seems like I shot an 11 and my buddy shot a 12. I have my cut playing card taped to the inside of my shooting box.

Just go home from Friendship. Congratulations to Jake. He whopped me fair and square with a flintlock. A really fine young man. Had a great time on the woods walk and meeting everyone.
HAY JAKE, I got a few extra pounds of powder for practice for next year. Leon

My thanks to Barry for putting this together and getting the word out.
This was my first Woodswalk...but certainly won't be my last. Jake showed a lot of class and exceptional maturity in competition. A very fine young man...and darn good shooter. Roland...you have a real woods partner there.
Barry reminded us all what a highly motivated skilled individual can do with a smoothbore. He WHACKED those long range steels in a manner that would have made any serving British officer VERY nervous who might have been trying to get back to Boston from Concord. :hatsoff:

I like seeing that young man shooting a flintlock. Possible new widowmaker in the future?
