Cutting a couple of hundred 1 1/4" to shoot out of my 45 Vincent tomorrow.

I shot ten more rbs out of my newly assembled kibler woods runner in .45cal. So far 29 rbs without knapping the original flint and no misfires. It is the shortest flinter I own and it handles really nice. Very comfortable to shoot too!

My second son Ethan and I are soon to be off to Daniel Boon National Forest for the weekend! It is youth only gun weekend! We are camping and he is hunting with his very own muzzleloader! Hopefully he gets something! I will keep you all posted!

I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun and wonderful memories!

Our club, Wilderness Road Muzzleloaders in Wytheville, VA had a Boy Scout Muzzleloader Introduction day and we all had a wonderful time. Scouts, Leaders, and Dads all had their first taste of musket and rifle shooting and did great. We hope to do more. This is my colleague and great friend Charles who is part of our Muzzleloading Instructor team.

Went to Martin’s Station Fall Encampment and picked up a new bag and knife. Also got to talk quite a bit to Mike Miller.

I think it goes well with this horn and gun.

Lock reassembled after being treated with Jax. All that's left for the SMR is waiting for oil to dry then assembly can begin... Booooring.

dug in 15 drawers looking for a 45 cal jag with 10 pitch threads.
pawed past a nice little zebra wood box with silver latch at least a dozen times.
finally for kicks and to refresh my memory of what was in that box, I looked. several dozen Jags, adapters, extensions of all sizes.
being old sucks.
put the one i was needing on the new RR i had to make after being stupid and breaking the very nice one I HAD in my SMR. noticed that the new RR could double for a plew stretcher.
brought it in and heated it in the vent on my wood stove until it was too hot to touch.
Put it in the pipes and channel of the smr to cool. much mo better!

Nicely done, lads! You two, in that lovely image, look like you are about to get up to some mischief 🙂.

Cheers, Pete

Did a little more stitching on a shooting pouch. Can't say how long I've been working on it since I've lost track. Not the pinnacle of craftsmanship, I know, but it's something to do in the evenings by the fire. Made from scraps cut from an old leather jacket. I'm calling it the "Frankenpouch."

Anticipating a great morning in the woods! Ethan is a very dedicated hunter!;-)
