    If that invite to come out and shoot is still open when my gun comes in I would love to go and and join you in killing some paper. What range were you guys shooting at?

    Walnut Stock Finish

    I have a walnut stocked fowler on order and was wondering what types of stains and finishes people here have tried on walnut and how they worked out. The gun is designed along the lines of an common English import from around the mid 18thC. I plan trying out a couple of the finishes on some...

    Welcome to the dark side Rollingb. New terms such as specific gravity and hydrometer shall be a part of your dreams and nightmares. The letters ABV shall become as familiar to you as ffg, the turkey frying setups that you see shall be henceforth known as wort kettles. Straight A(s) is no longer...

    Wine making

    Just look for a homebrew shop in your area and they can hook you right up with an airlock, if there aren't any nearby there are about a thousand of em online. Cider is one of the easiest things to make, if you want an all natural hard cider just get yourself a gallon of un-pasturized apple...

    Wine making

    Stumpkiller has it right. If you want to get a bit more into detail here is something to read. Generally, fining agents work because they possess one charge (positive or negative) and the cloudiness is caused by something that possesses the opposite charge. Opposites attract, creating larger...

    Camp Cooking-looking for ideas

    One of my favs is to butterfly a pork loin and rub it down with nutmeg, red pepper, and salt and roll it back up and let it sit in the fridge for 2 days then slow grill it(unrolled) over a slightly smoky fire until done. As a side dish I chop up a small amount of bacon, saute this in a dutch...

    Rustic Arms/Narragansett Arms

    It's nice to hear another good comment on Larry's guns since I just ordered one last week. Same gun as you are talking about as a matter of fact(Cumberland Fowler). The finish isn't real important to me since I ordered mine in the white. One of the nice things was that since I plan on doing some...

    New Kit

    Taking her to see Oprah is kinda like having a bandaid pulled off someplace that has a lot of hair, painfull but it doesn't last for long. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet so you can shoot the PRB.

    Canvas Tent Questions

    Before you dismiss a wall tent take a look at these links. http://www.revwar75.com/library/rees/tents.htm http://www.najecki.com/repro/Special-Images.html http://www.revwar75.com/library/rees/shelter1.htm While I cannot say if they were used in Texas in 1800 they were used in the Rev...

    Canvas Tent Questions

    Insted of buying skeeter netting, get yourself some sheer fabric in a color that you like. It keeps the bugs out and looks alot better. A good canvas tent will stand up to the weather better than you would believe. I have survived steady 45+ mph winds and heavy rain with no problem under canvas...

    Lodge/Awning

    This guy has alot of different iron ware at very good prices. The ridge pole and pole grabber hooks are great ways to get your lighting up a bit higher so the light shines down. www.frenchiestraditionalironwork.com The woodstove sounds like a great place to keep a pot of cider going.

    Enlish Style Fowler

    I read your post about comparing the two guns(the TOW "G" & the Smooth rifle) and when I looked at them again I could see the differences you pointed out to me. I spoke to Larry again asked about the differences in the two different fowlers has pictured and then decided on the one he has...

    Any other brewers out there?

    Actually, early american brewwers used anything they could get their hands on to make beer. I have seen descriptions of brews containing pumpkin, peas, corn, spruce and the above mentioned molasses. English trained brewers also used oats and wheat in many of the beers they made. The German beer...

    Correct F&I Smoothbore

    In your above post you were talking about the Type G English gun being widely imported to the colonies and I looked at the ones on TOW and it seemed to me that they are very similar in design to the Cumberland Smoothbore from ERA without the patchbox and extended trigger guard. I was thinking...
