    Thanks, I'm sorry about my tirade but it has been along time coming. I never ment that the TMA will go the same way as the NMLRA. I'm simply going to take a wait and see position. So far everything I've read about the TMA I like and if things continue the way they are presently going, I'm sure...

    WOW!!!! I am hard pressed to think of a better way to start a fight than your statement."The TMA is a mistake." I was a member of the NMLRA, and the only mistake that I've seen is the way that the NMLRA was and still is treating the skinners. It seems to me that they forgot who started the...

    Who else has "given up" trekking/re-enacting. Why?

    Texikan, Thats whats so great about those folks I named. They are great folks and extremly nice people. I think that what you'll find is that most of the self proclaimed threadcounters have forgot to have fun. They have put being PC above having a good time and relaxing. And thats to bad!! I'm...

    Who else has "given up" trekking/re-enacting. Why?

    Who else has "given up" trekking/re-enacting. Why?

    TexiKan, Well here I stand. :: As to fireing the the 1st shot, I've had guys who come up and start on me about one thing or another. And alls I got to say is they had better have their own house in order before they knock on my door. As for myself being the minority, I belong to a group that...

    Who else has "given up" trekking/re-enacting. Why?

    Texikan, Hello, my name is Wil and I'm a threadcounter. I'm also what I consider a newbie friendly reenacter. Is all my stuff PC all the time, NO, but that is what I'm striving for and I encouage others, greenhorns and hivernauts alike,to strive for also. In the same grain, I'll not bad mouth...

    Critics.

    My feelings exactly. If you truly want those folks who carry or sell the wrong stuff to get more correct, then stop and talk to them. Invite them over for a cup of fire brewed tea or show them that they don't need a shooting box. Be the the example without being a prick. I know, I used to be a...

    Think about this

    I don't kmow if it is the actully the dumbing down of our socity. Most inline shooters I know bought an inline because it was a cheap way to get in on another season. I've done my best to convince them the way to go is a traditional. By saying that they can use it during the season and then they...

    Future of the sport...?

    Hey rollinb, I'm not that gloomy, and I'm also not the one who called himself an "elitest". I'll put my flintrock up to any inline on the planet. And I'll also compare any of my period gear to anyones out there also. But am I an "elitest" ? Hell no! I'm alot like the Kansan, just a man out to...
