    Hawken Classic Location Cancelled by the St. Charles County Parks Department

    And tell them how much money you spent in the area, at restaurants, maybe motels, anything else to show that the event brings money into the area. It's mostly about the money. Good luck to y'all. We had a similar problem at San Jacinto, but the parks folks got it figured out, after we moved...

    You guys may know what this is.

    Is that an NRA Medallion in the case? Is it set into the case, or just laying there?

    My new to me "Bush Buster"

    Yes, I've learned that to start something new, start at the beginning. My mind drifted (again!), and I was thinking about how to document my findings. I know my way around an Excel spreadsheet, so there's my start. I know what guns I have, so I have my first constant. Bullets - second constant...

    Powder for Longer or Shorter Barrels.

    I had never thought about this, but it sure makes sense. I have both long and short barrels, but haven't consider the length when loading my horn. So, the way I understand it: 1. When you want the max push to the ball, it seems you would want the powder to burn completely in the barrel. So, use...

    Howdy from Texas

    Howdy and Welcome from The Woodlands. Still in the Piney Woods, but not as deep into it as y'all. I had some projects in Tyler back in the '80s. I remember driving through the Piney Woods, and then coming across 40 acre clearings with nothing but roses! The Rose Capital of the World, Indeed! I...

    SOLD Civil War camp hat 100% wool

    I received the hat today, and I'm totally pleased with it! :thumb: Studying the troop photo, I have to decide if I want to wear it to the right or the left. I think to the left, like the guy on the left smoking a pipe. Rather jaunty looking, I dare say! Now, if we would just get some cooler...

    SOLD Revolutionary War (replica) drinking cup

    I got the cup this evening, and it looks better than the photos. :thumb: Plus, it has a cool history, so it'll have a prominent spot in my display of treasures! I'm pleased, and will be watching for Flintlock's other offerings. Brazos

    Camp beds, let’s see some

    I could not come close to the quality and composition of your work, and I stand humbled in its presence. Perchance I have a creative epiphany, I will share my attempt, but yours will be the standard to which all others will be held. :thumb:

    SOLD Civil War camp hat 100% wool

    I have all of my summer bbq wood left from not using it over the summer. It was just WAY too dry to start a real fire, so I had to use charcoal in my hibachi. I plan to camp with the Texas Army at Gonzales on Oct 7 for the Come and Take It Festival and Reenactment, so I SURE hope the weather...

    SOLD Civil War camp hat 100% wool

    I can feel Winter coming on in Texas. Today's temp will only get up to 97 degrees. I need to prepare for the cold temps that might even get down into the 70's. This hat should help, so I'll take it. I'll pm you a bit later with my details. Thanks, Brazos

    Is the Recently-Discovered Beckwourth Rifle the One Jim Is Holding in His Portrait?

    1. I agree that the grain doesn't match from one rifle to the other. 2. Beckwourth looks to be holding the rifle at the point where the stock narrows for the ramrod inlet, so that the full-size stock runs longer than in the color photo. 3. The trigger guard profile on the Beckwourth photo looks...

    Greetings from NJ

    Another Howdy and Welcome from Texas. My family moved from Mt. Hope at Rockaway, in Morris County, back in '71. It was pretty there, with hills, trees, and woods to play in. A power line easement that I rode on took me to the fence of Picatinny Arsenal. Cool! I found air shafts for mines while...
