I was up uesday and Wendsday, visited and shopped, haven shot for three years now. I did look at the Pedersoli flintlock double shotgun and drooled

John sorry to hear about the eye problems. Makes my floater in the center of my right eye seem like a non problem. God be willing that your eye be healed

When I have my shoots I pull a 25 to 30 foot log out in the field, just find a spot that the higith suits you. Its as stable a rest as you can get

Starting to look at weather and routes to AZ. Might be a good year to visit friends in LA then take I-10 out instead of the I-64 I-44, I-40 route

And the Ohio river is coming back out here. The water had just fell enough to get back in the banks now is coming back up. 
And the weather, Wendsday and thursday it was close to sixty and a monsoon, sunny and cold today with a low in the low teens. Just another week in southern Indiana

It was designed during WW11 to be a direct replacement for whale oil. Apperently before the war whale oil had been the oil of choice for auto transmissions

Looking forward to it Robin, are you planning on scheduling less rain?

PM me your email and I will forward you a copy of the flyer.
In a fairly short period of time they have put together what sounds like a really good program. All seem to be good people from my experience working with them.

Thanks. I have talked to two shooters who were in the area, but not witnesses. Very close but not exact. I am planning on calling the shooter this weekend.

and hello from SW Indiana. I get to Kansas on the I-70 route at least once a year. My shooting is in the NW corner of the state involving # 4 and #6 shot. Some pushed by modern powder, some is black powder sparked by flint. Looking forward to November.

I glued a rail on my barrel when I was working up loads. I do nor remember the group size but off sand bags and as long as I kept loading pressure close, it would shoot close to a one hole group at 50 yards.

Almost as soon as I arrived at Friendship I was told the Western National shoot in Phoenix had been cancled by the BOD. This was very dissapointing to me, after an Indiana winter spending a week in the desert was great. The range at Ben Avery is well above top notch and well matained. The crew that has been putting on the NMLRA Western National shoot are very dedicated and the shooters have been very generous in their support.
This morning I recieved a call that I needed to keep the dates open, the group has started the AZWINS [Arizona Western Invitational Shoot. I am looking for more info

Wish I was closer, besides I could use some one to shoot with

I know that with my eyes and the fact that I am not a rifle shooter It does not matter when or on what part of the line I shoot. I enjoy being able to be a part of the event.  Those that can shoot and understand reading the wind and light had best be paying attention to the forcast as to shooting first or second.

Thanks for the compliments Trent. What I learned was that my capote works better i n the rain than I thought and I need to look into one of those orange stetsons I saw at Cabalas to keep theb rain off my glasses. This was my second year and was as good a group as I have ever range officered for
