    April 2023 Postal Match

    Snow has melted enough for me to get into the North 40! I printed two Targets and my first effort turned out fairly well so I walked back to 75 yards and took a few off-hand shots at the 2nd Jelly Bean. I only fired three from the far distance because I was unable to see where I was hitting, so...

    Kibler colonial

    Now that you have a backup woods-runner ...Before anything else, I'd spend a little time on your Colonial getting the trigger guard ends to seat into their mortise'es better.

    First post, maybe some advice?

    Only time that powder is ever "wasted"...is if you spill some.

    Help Knapping a flint

    Sometimes you just need to put in a new Flint. Try flipping the Flint over in the **** and then tap it with your little knapping hammer.

    Curious, How do you clean your Pinned barrel Rifle or Smooth bore?

    I fire my rifle almost every day...cleaning is a breeze. No way am I going to pull pins or screws every day. Clean in a caddie with your rifle level,.. close the frizzen on a thick dry patch, wet terry cloth patches down the bore until they come clean, a dry patch or 2, and a squirt of...

    Help with bison horn

    I've straightened a pronghorn antelope horn. It had a full hook on top and I made it straight and pointy like a dagger. I use a little cheap Dollar Store Fat fryer with vegetable set just under 350°. You don't want to boil the horn or cook it, just hold it until the bubble start to form and...

    Schuetzen vs Goex

    Swiss and Olde Eynsford are undeniably superior powders. Grain-for-grain they bring greater velocity and shoot cleaner. You can even tell when someone's shooting them by the sweet smell. A very recognizable scent...mmmmm If you're shooting an important contest or attending the hunt of a...

    Let's see your Belt or Rifleman's knife

    Here's my rifleman's knife that I just finished. So happy with the way it turned out! Used a Mountain Lion's femur bone for the handle. I still need to build an appropriate sheath for it.

    A peripheral part of a Kibler Woodsrunner

    I didn't do as good of a job of making the screws invisible on this box. And the photograph makes them stand out much more than they do in real life.

    A peripheral part of a Kibler Woodsrunner

    I used brass screws on my Colonials.... countersink them in a ways. Then file them off flush and smooth.

    Your Fav. Vegetable Oil for Making Lubes

    Wouldn't that be a refreshing notion!....lol It seems there was a time that may have been true. Remember the days of actual literature and encyclopedia facts? But now all answers are correct... the Yes, the No, and the Maybe. And the all-time favorite... "What your gun likes". Hilarious...

    Your Fav. Vegetable Oil for Making Lubes

    No vegetable oil is worth a darn for black powder fouling! For patches use water soluble oil and distilled water... The water just melts BP fouling. And the oil will remain even if you're patch begins to dry while you visit at the range, or walk all day on a hunt. For conicals SPG wins...
