New From New York

[Splitear]

I am in Western NY and am involved in 4H Shooting Sports. I just ran an intro to muzzleloading class last week for the Erie/Niagara county 4H Rifle Club. I am also certified in archery and usually teach that for Niagara county. Welcome aboard.

That is great, I love meeting other 4-H folks! I hope your class went well. We are struggling a little bit to make our SS classes go with our COVID guidelines, but I hope to have something soon. Archery is up and running, but a lot of my firearms instructors don’t want to lead classes/clubs for a variety of reasons.
Who is your staff educator over there, I can’t remember...

Welcome. I am in Schoharie County. The name rings a bell. Any relation to Lyndall?

No Lyndall’s in my family tree that I know of. We don’t have any family in New York that I know of either.

My band has played the Sunshine Fair once or twice, and we usually give a gig or two at the Meadobrook in Glen if you’re familiar.

I've got a few volunteers who are members, and a few volunteers and 4-H'ers who are re-enactors. I'll have to make it over to the club sometime. I know where it's at, but have never been to visit. The Schuylerville area is beautiful, and the history is great.

Welcome from Ballston Spa.

Hey there, I'm actually Ballston Spa (Milton). Maybe we can get together and shoot sometime. You know, I'm always needing new 4-H Shooting Sports Instructors (shameless plug)...

Welcome. I’m new here as well. My family had hunting camps in Lake George, and later two in the Saranac Lake area. One on the lake and one on the river. North country I’ve lived in the mountains of southern West Virginia for over 40 years . Great group here.

Load the bullet tight down on the ball, in that there T/C.

An air space between powder and ball sometimes makes very, very high pressures just at that ball..

Up near Saratoga Springs. Been here about 5 years now.

Grew up in Greenfield Center, back when it was all woods and farms. God’s own country, up there. Good hunting and fishing.
Howdy from Virginia!

Welcome from Fulton County, and yes, I've been to the meadowbrook.

And you made it out of Meadowbrook, that's an accomplishment. I have seen some dandy bar brawls at that joint.
