Welcome from Pa.

Welcome from Central Pa.. Was born and grew up near Waynesburg Pa. , Greene Co..

Was a windy day at the range , but the wind was blowing from my back down hill towards the targets. No other shooters , just me. Covered firing range , and the cloudy day was going fine. I was almost finished , and the wind from my back stopped. Then I saw the wind reverse direction uphill...

Dwight......Yea , me too. All I get now a days is Pa. Sportsman's Newspaper , and Muzzleloader mag.. (I dislike the slick paper , full of shiny photos type offerings.) I like the forum 'cause I can talk back.

MODERATOR....help needed......I will send a postal money order in support of the forum as oldwood did before , if an address can be supplied. I don't do credit cards , or bank checks....oldwoodchas :thumb:

Have built a few ash stocks over the years , maybe a dozen. Around central and southern Pa. the wood has become scarce due to ash tree diseases. Ash is a little heavy , but if used for skinny long rifle stocks like mtn. rifles , makes into a fine gunstock. Occasionally figured wood is found...

Last year , first day of Pa. buck season , I allowed a mega buck to sneak up on me . I walked right past him laying down at an old gas well site. I went down wind of him and sat down on my old seat w/my back against a tree. Had a 15 + mph steady cold wind blowing from my left rear side...

I had a couple old rifles to fix , but the the wood in the stocks was crumbly. I pointed this out to the owners , and both went for new stocks. I pointed out that replacing the wood will devalue the potential sale price. Both wanted to shoot the rifles with new wood. As you wish. One...

Looks like a couple long rifle stocks possible , and maybe a Jaeger stock , too. In the yrs. I been messing w/ gunstocks , a good many black walnut pieces have crossed my bench , especially during the 1970's , and early 1980's. I usually gathered my own wood , and found three distinct...

I try to not to go to either of the ranges alone these days. Twelve yrs. ago , I had a questionable experience at the most rural of the two ranges. Was there by my self sighting in a new .40 custom long rifle. A strange car came in and parked and the two guys came over to the bench rests...

Many of the original barrels I've unbreached were notched.
