Hello From Iowa

[GR50036]

I’ve been lurking for a while and love the community here so I joined. I’ve been collecting milsurps for 15 years, and got into BP in the last 2-3 years. So far just percussion but I see flintlock(s) in my future.

What part of Iowa did you live and did you shoot at the Covered Bridge Days in Winterset?
I lived in Iowa 70s and 80s but moved to Wisc in late 80s. Still have family there near Adel. Miss it.

I have a good friend in Boone, his dad worked in the court house in Boone and built rifles. Attended many shoots.
He and I are the only 2 left of the old timers. The rest of them have gone under, just buried one last spring. I hope that's all for awhile LOL. We did it the old fashion way, hard work and play hard.

You might want to check out the Raccoon Valley Muzzleloaders - they have some low-key matches that are lot of fun in the summer.

I'm in Story County.

Welcome!

I didn't live there, was based out of Atlanta and flew into to Waterloo, Des Moines, Dubuque, Ottumwa, etc for meetings...Those mid western women sure loved a southern drawl...
