    2015 WV Firearms season

    The 2015 WV firearm season dawned cold and crisp this morning. I hunted my way back into the same area I killed a buck two years ago and waited to see if I could kill a mature deer with my 50 cal percussion rifle. I didn't have to wait long. Two young deer came up behind me and moved on. Two...

    8 Point Buck European Mount

    I finally finished the European mount of the eight point buck I shot on November 21, 2013. I found a scrap piece of red oak in my lumber pile, shaped into a plaque and mounted the head to it. This was my first try at the European mount and I learned some lessons on the way.

    This year the 2013 firearm deer season was cold and crisp in Central West Virginia. It was 15 degrees when I left the truck. I had not been able to tag a deer in the 2012 firearm season, so I was looking for any mature deer to be in range of my 50 cal. long rifle. Last year I hunted in shirt...

    Smoothbore skeet shooting

    A friend invited me to a skeet shoot Friday, I have never shot skeet before so I showed up with my .62 cal. smoothbore flintlock. It sounded like a good way to burn a little powder. I may try it again if I can overcome a few hurdles besides being not a very good shot at flying objects...

    Fiberglass Ramrod ruining a barrel?

    I have read some of the previous threads concerning the use of fiberglass ramrods and how their use will ruin a barrel. I don't understand how their use ruins a barrel. Where is the damage? Does a rifled barrel look different than a smoothbore that has been ruined by a fiberglass rod? Is it...
