If you have never met the famous John Mosby, he will be there representing the Muzzleloader Forum. I hope to be there. Last year I had to work.

Hey John, what's the weather going to be like. Hopefully Katrina will have blown past by then.

I hope the weather is nice for the shoot. The storm should be past by then.

Actually, I'm pretty famous at the Columbia Shoot. At the last Columbia shoot I was the only shooter who forgot the gun shoots much better if the powder goes in before the ball. I was only at the 2nd station when I did that little trick. After trying to get a few grains of powder in the touch hole with no luck I screwed the ball puller on my ram rod and after 10 minutes of pushing and twisting and pulling I finally got the ball out. But that wasn't the end of my problem. The ball puller was screwed on the rod so tight I couldn't get it unscrewed. Lucky for me one of the shooters had a pair of pliers with him. That held everyone up for about 20 minutes. But they let me shoot after that anyway. Nice bunch of guys there.

I'm working in E. Hempfield now, off of Centerville Rd. Could you give me directions to the shoot?

Thanks

I'm not sure where on Centerville Rd you are but take Centerville Rd to Marietta Pk (Rd 23), turn West, follow that to Prospect Rd, turn left (South), go to Fairview Rd and turn right. The range is a mile or so on the right side. You can't miss it.
The address is Fairview Rd, Columbia, Pa 17512 if you want to print out a map online.
