Muzzleloader Forum Woodswalk at the NMLRA National Championship

[bgeipel]

Time to start planning our forum woodswalk for the September shoot at Friendship!

Last June we all decided that the noon start time on Sunday worked well so lets meet on Sunday, Sept 11 at noon.

For those who have not attended before, a group of us from the muzzleloader forum gather at the woodswalk check in station and do the woodswalk together. In addition to the normal match, we also compete for a "traveling plate" where the winner of the match takes the plate until the next match and engraves their name in it for posterity sake.

Drop a message here if you are interested in joining us!

What a wonderful tradition! Claude has to be at least a little proud.

:applause:

 

[trent/OH]

It looks like I'm in on this one at last!

 

[tecum-tha]

Won't be able to participate this time. A family death demands me to fly back to the homeland. Y'all have fun!

 

[Don Steele]

Sorry for your loss, and sorry to hear that we'll miss your presence in the woods with us.
I'll most likely be showing up for another embarrassment. Not sure why I do this to myself, but it's probably to show off my incredibly stylish, big straw hat. :grin:

Sorry for you loss tecum-tha

 

[tecum-tha]

Thank you gentlemen! I am looking forward to shoot again next June with you all.

 

[Leon/Iowa]

If you start at noon, what time do you usually finish? Just wondering, because we have to head back to Georgia that afternoon.

 

[bgeipel]

That is really had to say. It all depends on how big the groups are. I would budget 3 hours.

We had a large group take 3 hours to get through the woodswalk this Spring, while a smaller group got through in about an hour.

As long as the range is fairly empty groups of 4 or 5 can get through in a reasonable amount of time. Groups of 6 or 8 take an eternity to get through, particularly at the stations with 2 or 3 targets.

By the way, earlier is better. I think the range opens at 10 AM. By Noon the range is pretty well packed.


If you are in a smaller group you can skip busy stations and move back and forth along the line and save a lot of time.

I suggest that we play it by ear and if we have a big group that we break up into smaller groups.

 

[steve free]

That might work out for us. If not we will still try to come by and say hello to everybody. :thumbsup:

 

[bgeipel]

Looks like we have a nice group! Meet at the woodswalk check in station at noon.

I will be at Friendship this weekend. If I'm able I will join in on the woods walk. Only going to be there Saturday and Sunday. Going to do some silhouette shooting those days as well. If I can make it over to the woods walk on Sunday at noon I will.
