Hi there, M1066, I am not aware of any here in CT coming up but I have gone to a couple this year that have been posted up on this thread, so keep an eye out. I would like to get in on another woodswalk shoot this fall myself

Don’t know of wood walk’s, happy to do range time in Colebrook

I would take you up on that offer if no one else does. I have a busy fall but can probably figure out a time that works. You can pm with dates your thinking of

I’m a retired 3 time cancer survivor, my schedule is pretty open

 

[CTBob]

Anybody home?

 

[Andrewmtnman]

Anybody home?

Yep, I'm home

 

[CTShooter]

Home more then I want to be

 

[Brokennock]

Home more then I want to be

Yup, me too. Want to do, and motivation and energy to do, are not the same thing.

 

[Andrewmtnman]

I would like to be out in the woods instead of in the kitchen but have been butchering up bear and rendering fat. Just about done now

 

[CTShooter]

I just don’t feel like going up to the club alone, and I’m secretly hoping to find a flintlock Fowler for the next range trip.

Well,,,, I can't exactly say the same.
I love my modern pistol shooting,,, but even with that, unless I'm at a match or running a training session,,, I'd rather practice alone so I can focus and not worry about what some dope is doing.
And even more so when I want to go shoot my flintlock. It might be nice to shoot informally with a couple of other like minded muzzleloader shooters (I enjoyed our one outing to your range) but generally prefer to shoot alone. Again, mostly because in many years of running a range, working on others, and shooting at several more,,,,, I've seen too much stupid and find it hard to concentrate on what I'm doing when there are others on the range that I don't know.

It would be nice if we could find someone who would let a few guys with traditional muzzleloaders shoot on their property. Just a few guys, some targets and backers,,, relaxed.

Cancer patients spend lots of time alone, it’s our punishment for having horrible diseases.

Sad, but true to a certain extent.

I need a strong #11 nipple wrench for a hawken. The one I got recently from Amazon, (I think) is too shallow and I had to modify it a tad. Is there a solid wrench out there that will hold up? Thanks...

When I had my caplock I had just bought a small crescent wrench of the correct size and cut the opposite end off, ground the cut end round, to make it more packable.

Are you near Monroe? There is a good shop there that had a bin of the old school ones that looked fairly hefty

 

[CTBob]
