Default Hey Bronko!

I hope both of you have a dry ball load the next time out.
Just got back from the range. Forty shots with my Great Plains flintlock. No Dryballs (but man, was I being careful ).

Well see that. And you thought I hexed you. I just put the thought in your head to be more careful - and it paid off. Remember SAFETY FIRST.
Now, of them 40 shots, how many actually hit the target?

Whew, that's good to know. I was worried about going out and shooting now I feel much better. Of course I won't be shooting for a little while. We got another blizzard, so I'm buried in snow at the moment.But when I go out at least I will feel safer. Glad it went well semi, but didn't you say there was a rule on here about posting pics and results?

If you're going to hex Semisane you have to do it right. I watched a show about New Orleans and how to hex...

When I first read his post I thought he might have been shooting in the rain. And complaining. Then I realized he was just commenting about a wonderful day on the range.

Sounds like you have a lot of fun there Semisane. How well did that rock lock shoot for you?

OK guys, don't worry. I'll be posting a report with targets later today. It started out to be just a little plinking, but turned into an "experiment".

There are no basements around here. If you dig a hole too deep it fills up with water. I live in River Ridge, LA, about a half mile from the Mississippi River levee and ten miles upstream fromOrleans Parish(no "Counties" in LA - we have "Parishes"). Because my house is on the ridge, it's twelve feet above sea level. Now my hunting lease is 82 miles North andpractically in the mountains - 340 feet above sea level.
