Thanks and yes I would greatly appreciate info & directions for your club range and information about your local rifle club. I live between Parkersburg and Ripley, but Charleston/St. Albans is just up the road. Actually in So. Charleston once a month for Linda's medical treatments. I have heard about the Prichard shoots but haven't found the location. Bill Large... I kept trying to get him to build me a slug gun, he always said he wouldn't live long enough to fill the orders he had. Sadly our last conversation was just prior to our loss of this one.
This info about the activities in our local area is what I need to get my feet wet.
I suspect you or some of the shooters will know this rifle, Ed said the fellow who traded it in worked for the gas company, 17 pounder 1840's half stock, southern style, 48" Ed Rayl 1 1/8" barrel.
Thank you
John
