Breech

I do the shooting events but other than that i have not gotten real involved. Still pretty much in civilian clothes and use a full few things that a regular Rondy person would use.

When i was teaching at the local Junior High I was teaching US History and Idaho History and we spent a lot of time talking about the the 1800's, the people and the events - it was my favorite period of time... I use to get permission form the principal to bring ia couple of side hammers, show the kids have then load them with black pepper and a patched round ball. They would put a piece of leather on the nipple for a cap and pull the trigger at a picture of a bear on the wall. I would then use a CO2 gizmo to blow the ball out of the gun at a suspended blanket on the wall. it was great fun and the kids loved it. Eventually other classes started coming over and watching also.
