What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

Stacking firewood and working on a Fusil ...

Muzzleloader deer season isn’t open here yet and it’s still too hot to squirrel hunt for me. So, I just shot some cardboard boxes with the Fusil de Chasse. Oops! I meant to say .60 caliber flintlock smooth bore.

Spent the day cleaning my musket, Hatfield and Golcher having shot for 3 days in Lenox, Ga. Did a pre clean on the range, but did the final at home. In 3 weeks, they get dirtied again at the NC State Muzzleloaders Championship in Fayetteville, NC. Crosse Creek Rifle and Pistol, check them out, it’s worth the trip!

Where was this taken at? Third rifle down in the first and second picture would have taken my coins ! WZ

I agree, The one in the center. However, I don't think I will ever have enough coins at one time to buy it. Semper Fi.

Fixing wax? Now how about that! When I lived down south for a number of years I wondered why so many things were broken. Cause everyone was fixing to do this or fixing to do that

I have always admired the shooting pouches that have the knife attached to the back of the bag. This coming weekend I'm attending a shooting pouch making class in Lodi Ohio put on by MaryEllen Pratt. I forged a nice antler handled knife and finished the sheath today that will be sewn to the back of the pouch. I'll dye it the same color as the bag. Hopefully this bag will turn out nice. Looking forward to carrying it in the woods.

I finished a knife case today. The case is approximately 9-1/4" long and beaded in a Cheyenne style with four dragonflys. It has a rawhide case inside the buckskin cover.

Sorry pics were for SMO. Don’t have a head count for Eastern. Was told there were fewer this year than in the past.

Thanks for posting the pics s73

I think the current state of the economy has a lot too do with attendance numbers being down… plus we’re all getting old.

How was the shooting?

Non-muzzleloading. Had a nice day at a continuing legal education training session, seeing some lawyers I had not seen in a while.

Muzzleloading. Put together 13 round-ball and one conical cartridge tonight, picking up where I left off the other night.

Despite having a good day, my innards are not doing great. wife was experimenting the other day with dinner and I am still feeling the effects. Have to quit making the bullets while the quitting was good. (Hint, other end)

The Doc needs to be out and heal now.

Reviewing my camp stuff, want to narrow it all down to bare essentials. I am planning to camp in my wedge tent later next week at the BP club range and do some shooting. Supposed to get some snow flurries and night temps in the 20's.

 

[sportster73hp]

How many camps. I haven't been to an eastern in many years.

Ok, as of Sunday morning there were 100 camps to include 139 adults and 19 children.
Event runs till this Friday.

That sounds like a pretty good turnout.

They used to have 5000 adults

They used to have 5000 adults

That is sad that attendance has dropped so much.
