    Mr Bobby Hoyt

    I sure I am overreacting, but I usually do, I am not trying to slur the man just explaining what happened and how it seemed when I first looked at what I got versus what I sent and maybe he did what he could do and it was a no go,( I left my cell number and email address with a note on what we...

    Mr Bobby Hoyt

    Well I got my two barrels back from Mr. Hoyt and was very sad. The note he wrote said the one barrel was too pitted to ream out? and he said the other had a hole where the first lug was. To be honest I think he just looked at them and took my check and cashed it, they were the same as when they...

    I think it also depends on what you need done. Mine was a smoothbore ream which is not as involved as some of the other options he offers such as rifling. He told me to send it to him and he would get to it soon since it wasn't as involved and it would be a month or so before I would get it...

    Do check the address because I think he moved and one of them is no longer valid. 2379 Mt. Hope Rd. Fairfield, PA 17320 This is the new address that he told me to send my barrels to.

    Mr Bobby Hoyt

    I hope he lives a good long while, he has two of my smoothbore barrels that are between 150-200 years old. Talked with him in January and sent the barrels to be reamed out nice and smooth for my next projects of a caliver matchlock and a trade gun. He did mention that he had sent several barrels...

    I would love to go but what gets me is that I work and if I take off on Friday and get there before noon I would have to pack all my gear in since no vehicles are allowed after Thursday, I get it about the vehicle entry but I would still have to pack gear in or find a cart or dolly, wheel barrow...

    Was at Old Mines back in the early 90's several times. I remember the first time I went I woke up one morning wrapped in a wool blanket by the fire with an inch of snow covering me. We called the church there the Church of the Holy Hand Grenade (good pancakes served) the beehive ovens had the...

    I like going to events sometimes on the fly or if the weather is going to be good, my choice, just dont like camping in a downpour or snowstorm anymore. But this one and several that i have seen want you to pre register and if you come in after there is a late fee. I think that is crap, if I pay...

    Beware the women of the night or bring your own full time night woman.

    Juried Rendezvous

    I'm guessing like some of the others who have responded that it is just the events that are juried. My interpretation of that is if you are going to participate in any of the shooting or hawk throwing etc. then dress in period clothing and don't act like a yayhoo. I have been to many rendezvous...

    Keep the tools you use and depend on clean and well oiled you never know when they will be needed in a pinch.

    How Often Did Historic Muzzleloader Get Cleaned

    Moose will not bother you if you can sidetrack them by getting them to show you how they pull a rabbit out of their hat, unless something else comes out.
