    That's what you call "rising" to the occasion!😁

    A question about your local competitions

    One of the more fun shoots I did was you had to lay on your back and shoot a target upside down. Not so sure my old bones would allow me to do that now. Another one was placing a saddle over a 50 gallon barrel suspended by ropes. You had to sit on it and load then shoot a target.

    How old are ya?

    Are there Were you part of the British forces that marched into Lexington at the beginning of the American Revolution? LOL. I just had to ask. I remember my niece that was 7 or 8 years old, after finding out how old my mother (her grandmother) was, asking her if she knew Ben Franklin.

    Rifle vs. Smoothbore

    For me, whether smooth or rifled, I like to keep distances under 100 yards preferably 80. With a good tight patched round ball, at 75-80 yards I'm minute of deer with my smoothbore. I could stretch that out to maybe 100-125 yards with a rifle, keeping in mind that my eyes are more of a problem...

    SxS Rifle collection

    For me it used to be Girls, Guns and Guitars. Now it's only Guns and Guitars. However, on the part of girls, if you don't look, you are not a man, but if you look twice, you are not a man either.

    How old are ya?

    I blame it on age telling her, I didn't hear you! I call it old age, she calls it "selective hearing". But in my defense, I do wear hearing aids (unless I want to tune someone out), due to too much shooting in my younger years with no ear protection and growing up with the loud rock and roll...

    How old are ya?

    My mother used to say, “If I ever wake up and nothing hurts, I’ll know I’m dead.” I’m beginning to understand what she meant.

    How old are ya?

    66 and 8 months here. Bought my first Dixie Gun Works Kentucky .45 caliber flintlock kit when I was 16. Wow, that was 50 years ago - half a century!

    How much black powder is too much?

    I’ve found that with black powder, it’s diminishing returns. Like someone mentioned earlier, you soon begin wasting it. Hunting with my .54, I never use more than 85-90 grains of FFG.

    Just One Gun

    Back in the late 80’s, the mountain man club I belonged to held their annual shoot. Just prior to the shoot, I had picked up a CVA mountain rifle kit at a local sporting goods store that was going out of business for $75. I put it together in a day (and it looked like it too), but I was in a...

    I will most likely pick it up next week when the seller gets back in town, and if for some reason I don't want it, I'll let you know.
