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

I will propose Sunday, June 11 at noon for the group.

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!

Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it this year as I will be vacationing in Germany. I do look forward to seeing everyone in September.

I'm in!!!!!

Please!! Lets have a big turn-out, and hope for great weather.

I'll have the traveling trophy with me, and try to defend it. But I'll be honored to present it to whomever wins it. I was just looking it over, and counted it being engraved 10 times so far. That's 5 years that it's been awarded thus far. Does anyone know how many shoots we did before the trophy was first presented?
 
I will come and bring my cousin from Germany, Marc_1893 is his name on here. He will arrive a week before and never shot a ML before. So I have one week to get him fit for this event.:))
He will either shoot a .50 or my G.L. Jones .54.
Need to get him ready for Fort Greenville match....
Jake and Steve should be around, too.
 
Does anyone know how many shoots we did before the trophy was first presented?

Yep. Zero.

Silex (great guy from Germany) brought the trophy plate to the very first Forum Woodswalk and donated it for the match.

He also brought his hunting horn and blew a pre-hunt tune and then a post-hunt tune. It was way cool.

Also cool, for me anyway, was that I won the first match with my Bess.
 
Thanks Jethro, I wasn't sure but thought there was a shoot or two before the plate, but I haven't made them all. What year did you win it with the Bess? It looks like I'm out for the Spring shoot this year too. To many things going on with a old broke down body. :shake:
 
What year did you win it with the Bess?

Musta been the spring shoot in "12.

We had a get together once or twice before the first woodswalk. The first time we did the woodswalk was when the plate was donated tho.
 
Thanks Jethro :hatsoff: I think maybe that the meet & greet session was what I remembered. I looked back in some older post and I think 2012 was the year as well. Good Luck at the Frolic. :thumbsup:

Who won???
The smoke must be really thick along the Laughery! Someone throw those Guy's a blanket.......send smoke signals ! Who won the plate? Maybe they're still shooting .... a tie breaker .... :idunno: No Photo this year?
 
Thank God you Guys are OK. I was beginning to worry. :haha: Congrats Steve and better luck next time Jake. :thumbsup: It must have been a good match. I can't wait to see the pics. :thumbsup:
 
Sorry for the delay, but here it is:

Thanks for posting the pic of that fine group of shooters :thumbsup: Congrats again to Steve and hope to see y'all in the Fall.
 
None of us were especially proud of our scores that afternoon. 7 (out of 17) is what it took to win. That's why everybody that can be there should come out and shoot. It's a fine trophy and you don't have to shoot Expert to have a chance at it.
Please try to join in the fun in September if you can!
