    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Got in a little practice today. Too wet to mow much or work in the garden. I cleaned up the path on the range and the rain started spittin’ again, so I started shootin’… Just started sprinkling again. My target wasn’t worth a closeup!

    CLOSED 40 Caliber Rifle

    There’s a Kibler .40 listed here… I woulda snatched it up if it was available when I first started looking for a flinter last year.

    Ever shoot a loading rod down range? You tell me........... I won't rat you out !

    I’ve done it once. Was patterning my Pedersoli 12ga SxS prior to last year’s dove opener, at one point the first shot kicked a lot harder than normal. I took a short break, and when it came time to load again, I spent a good while looking all over the place for the ramrod that I thought I’d...

    Crazy Crow non iron "Iron" cookware?

    I second this motion…. And third it, too. I’d recommend starting by putting it in your oven set as high as it will go. The current coatings should turn to dust and you can then easily wash them off. Then immediately proceed to seasoning with flaxseed oil, or you’ll get rust starting...

    I found a good alternative use for the copper sheeting I bought to eventually make caps with… a strip of it makes a dandy top cap for the roof of a bird feeder.

    No Sights?

    I remember hearing that the LAPD once did a study on officer involved shootings, and the large majority were in near total darkness and most were within something like 7 feet. Not yards. Feet. You can smell their breath within 7 feet and the moving target is about 20” x 30”. I personally...

    Flint Leather, Side Fit

    Kinda like baseball pitchers… some of ‘em throw overhand and some of ‘em throw sidearm. Just find what works for you and what you can get comfortable with. Notched leather, plain leather, lead, sideways, frontways…. Just not back’ards… they don’t usually work that well back’ards…

    About a year from now, you'll find out it was worth $500. Super rare and very valuable! Maybe not, but that's what would happen to me if I had it and melted it down!

    I like the look of Golden Oak Minwax on curly maple... I used that on a large, curly maple dresser I'm in the long process of building. I figured I'd die of old age before getting Aqua Fortis blushed out on the whole dresser, so decided against that idea. The Golden Oak Minwax has a nice...

    Cut some tent poles for my wall tent. It’s been retired in a shed for 30 years, but when I pulled it out and unfolded it the other day, and it was in amazingly good shape. Kinda anxious to set it up and see if it stays together!.. I got ambitious and while I had the opportunity, cut more than...

    Grandpa stories

    My maternal grandfather was a motorcycle messenger in WW1… he had a TV repair shop in NJ when I was a kid. We lived in GA from the time I was 4, so I only met him and Grandma a couple of times on short visits. Paternal Grandpaw worked the TX oil fields and had a stroke before I was born. He...

    Why no black powder hunting personalities

    Jim Shockey’s BP efforts were to sell the new inline guns. If there was a hunting show featuring sidelock and flintlock traditional BP guns, all the guys that watched it would be yelling at the screen, “YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG!” 😬

    I was honored to host the shoot mentioned above…. We had 18 folks in attendance. Three members came in on Thursday and set up a primitive camp. It was awesome hanging around the campfire and tellin’ lies… The shoot went off very well and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. All the...

    It was…. Salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder and just a little white pepper. I use that combo on venison, beef and pork. Delicious!
