    FOR SALE Hoyt .62cal. Jaeger barrel.

    I think the .62 caliber balls are turning out of the old Dixon's mold at around .607", and the patch is conventional 0.018" pillow ticking lubed with bear grease I rendered. Balls weigh 335 grains, pretty close to pure lead. I have killed several deer with this gun, and the ball just keeps...

    With two hunting seasons carrying a .62 over my shoulder, I can highly recommend this caliber. It is true smashing power

    FOR SALE Hoyt .62cal. Jaeger barrel.

    The .62 is the caliber of the future 😃. The 62 rifle parts you sold me are beginning to take shape. I think.

    18th Century Artisan Faire

    Spent yesterday afternoon at the 18th Century Faire show, now in Carlisle. Some longtime vendors were not present, like Gen Ni Si Ho, at least that I could see, and the usual stalwarts were there in force. Tremendous amount of talent in one place. So much fun. Had a long talk with Duelist’s Den...

    Gunstock Blanks

    You have received good advice here. I run a sawmill and make a lot of slabs. Everything we sell is air dried down to about 10-12%, which is good enough for a lot of uses, and too moist for a lot of furniture. Unless it has been dried for a bit somewhere hot. Like an enclosed trailer. That will...

    The PA ‘One-of-a-Kind’ Flintlock Deer Season Turns 50!

    In 1974 when our PA flintlock-only season started, I was ten years old and into my third year as an "undocumented hunter" in rural Centre County. If I close my eyes and think back to those times, snippets of hunts, neighbors, deer, guns, smoke, snow, hoof tracks in the snow, blood on the snow...

    WITHDRAWN Pedersoli Kodiak Express .50 SxS

    Very cool gun, which looks like it was shot much less than the small alterations would hint at.

    Trail-cam pictures.

    i just started laying steel, mostly for fisher and bobcat, which automatically means catching coons, skunks, and possums, nest raiders all, that always clog up the early traps, but after i've thinned out those junk critters and can make a nice careful set for the harder species, i'll set a few...
