I bought some supplies to lube my maxi balls in bulk, to make some more moose snot, and also starting working on my pack for my elk hunt in Colorado in a month.
How far were you shooting?Got a little range time in…..this target is a total of ten shots….five high right, four at the bullseye, one…uh…flinch, jerk, didn’t squeeze…I dunno. All in all, I was happy!View attachment 87272
Norris or Royal Blue?Went to the range and ran into an older fella shooting his CVA mountain rifle. First one I’ve ever seen in person. I liked it quite a bit and made sure to brag on it. He was having some issues, so I helped him sort it out. It was a good trip.
It was great seeing you and Colten!! Thanks for letting us shoot with you at the trap range!!Spent the day at Friendship for the Fall National shoot. My son won 3rd place back in June for the NMLRA spring nationals Junior Woodswalk shoot. We picked up his medal yesterday. We did some shopping for buttplates and trigger guards for future builds. I also found a book I've been looking for about Longrifle Gunsmiths of Western PA. John Cory's (a cousin of mine) story and flintlock he built is in the book. We did some shooting with Loja Man who brought me one of the Patch Knives he made for me in trade for the Fowler I'm building for him. He did a fantastic job! My son shot some Trap and we both shot the silhouettes.

Drilling the nipple holes 28bore barrels. I pondered at setting it up on the mill but then made a drill jig out of tubes and epoxy putty. . So it all lined up with hammers perfectly. Still waiting for epoxy putty to harden . I used hot glue to secure the tubes exactly to the hammer face , before adding epoxy putty Sunny day west London 12 am
Don’t try this a total mess up, ha ha thought I was being clever , I’ll make new breach plugs.
@TerrierHey…. Does anyone know what’s become of @TDM ?
He was a regular contributor here on this thread, but his posts stopped on July 30th. I’m getting a little worried about him, and miss his postings.
I sent him a PM a few days ago and also sent him my email address in case a family member intercepted the notifications and could email me back with any news.
Just concerned…
Maybe he bought a tropical island and just dropped off the grid. I dunno…
