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:

Have fun and be safe...Looks like you are packed up and ready to go...

I didn't see the ice and bottle of scotch for after the range session

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.

sounds like you are all set. Have a great time shooting that cannon.

Have fun and don't forget to report.

Is the bunkhouse air conditioned? This has been one hot week here in Charlotte. about 95 each day and 75 at night.Have fun

I hope your kiddin with that question.He has to have some place to drink that Scotch.

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

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.
