    Still above ground

    Good morning everyone. Just a note to let all of you know I'm still around and have not forgotten you. I will return to the hobby eventually. Most of what moved me away is sorted, I just have to get the urge to actually take the old rifle out again.

    It's been a good run, but Im going to hang up my powder horn for a spell

    My friends... My personal life has taken me away from firearms in general, I wont go into the reasons why except to say I have committed no crimes, just had some personal issues that made me set them down for a time.

    I know about the dry ball club; but is there a no ball club?!?

    So I made it to the range yesterday. I have been a little off since my hospital stay, so I was loading more slowly to be sure I didn't miss anything. I fired what was likely my 12th shot, and it sounded weak. I thought hmmm, wonder how that happened. Dropped the ramrod down the tube to be sure...

    a few years back, Probably 5 or so, I let myself get distracted while loading and didn't ram the ball ALL the way down. I cant remember where it stopped, but i remember the distinct sound the rifle made when it went off and realizing my mistake. I inspected her as best I can, no bulges and no...

    Sorely needed day at the range.

    So, this past Monday i had off thanks to the holiday in remembrance of our fallen heroes. I made time to get to the range for the first time since I moved, which is embarrassing since I live less than 15 minutes away from my local range. About 3 months ago our range in cooperation with the ML...
