A Gun, A Plan, And A Bag
 
Hey Guys, I'm packed up and ready to go.

Heading for a week end at the hunting lease. Gotta shoot, heat or no heat.

I've got a gun:

The .58 Green Mountain Hawken.



I've got a plan:

Shoot four five-shot groups with 95 grains of GOEX FFg over the chronograph.

Group 1 - patched ball seated to just barely touching the powder.
Group 2 - Patched ball seated very hard on the powder.
Group 3 - patched ball & wad seated to just barely touching the powder.
Group 4 - Patched ball & wad seated very hard on the powder.

I've got a bag:

:s2::s2: The ice is in the cook shack freezer at the campground, and the Scotch is safely packed in my bag of clothes. ;)

I also have a container of real nice rabbit sauce piquant for tonight's meal.

Hey deer655, I sleep in A/C during the summer and electric heat during the winter. So I'm :cool2:.

Each of the nine guys in the club has his own little camping trailer or "hooch" (except for our honorary redneck member who has a school bus ;) ). In addition, we have a Skinning Shed and an 8' x 16' Cook Shack with a fridge and propane stove.

My hooch is an 8' x 8' "plywood tent" which is just big enough for a single bed along one side and an eight-foot counter on the other. The counter has a small sink, microwave oven, and two burner hotplate, with a 2 c.f. fridge underneath. The aisle between the bed and the counter is 24" wide. Very comfortable and all I need.

Here's my hooch (the little A/C is on the back side, and that's a gravity shower to the right).

I drink my Scotch and clean my guns on my "luxurious" deck WOODTICK. :party0005:
