    RB Sprue and accuracy

    Start casting your own. It's pretty easy to pick up and adds to the fun. It's kinda like growing a garden. You know what is in it, how it was taken care of. Yes, it is a little work. But those vegetables sure taste better than store bought..

    Well gravity took it down, so turned it on it's barrel and placed it back into the gun cabinet upside-down. We will see. You will love shooting that gun, they shoot very well and are a very well made gun. It looks like you found one that was taken care of by its previous owner. Congrats!

    I could camp out in that shop for a very long time. The .535 ball actually rolls down the barrel pretty easy. I got it out to check the serial number. I had a .535 ball out and I accidentally dropped it down the barrel. I have never dry balled a gun before. Well I can't say that anymore! I...

    Thanksgiving Traditions That People Don't Understand

    No one has mentioned a Fried Turkey! We have been doing one for the past 15 or so years. The fried turkey is usually all gone and the baked one is what is taken home for leftovers.

    I put a box under the nest that had a small hole in the end that the bees could fly into. The top of the box hinged open. I put a step ladder under the nest and set the box on top with the top open. I took a long knife and slowly cut the comb from the tree branch. I held the bottom of the comb...

    Muzzleloader hazard

    I have seen 3, 6 footers in the wild. That is as big as I have seen. Usually see most of them in the early fall when they are looking for their last meals before winter. We had a 5 footer in our front yard a few years ago, that was a little to close for comfort.

    Was a pretty cool day. We shot several different ML guns today before we went hunting. He was shooting extremely well. After he shot he said that was the most excited he has been, and it was a doe....

    My 15 year old shot at his first muzzleloader deer this afternoon. He missed but I still wanted to look and be sure. We looked out in the field and didn't find any sign of a hit. I went to walk into the woods where the doe ran in at and found this on the ground. It was 71 degrees out ...

    We actually seen10 different bucks Monday afternoon. I seen 5 and my youngest son seen 5. The most we have seen in one afternoon. They are still running together. We don't feed corn like everyone else does. So I think they will walk looking for food instead of waiting until dark and going to...

    Killer Wax

    They have a new home. I built this hive 10 or so years ago so my kids could see the bees working. I bought a box of bees and they left out the same week I put them in it. Maybe these will stay. I stopped by a guy's house who appeared to be a beekeeper on the way home. I introduced myself and...

    Good news, not killer bees! But they will have a new home and not freeze to death. I will relocate them to my house!
