how does cayugad do it.
 

I just got 7 guns, had my next range session planned. then an kink, 2 new guns that need my attention.

well, I have my self an problem.

my next range session was going to be, my 50cal hawken to get it finally sighted in and my knight usak with conical tests.

now, I have two more guns to shoot. I am going to hold off on the flinter until I can work out my budget a little better. I am hoping to finally work out the kinks on my 54cal, so that leaves my silver eagle scoped and need to be sighted in, and my 50cal hawken.

so I need some options

guns at this time.
knight usak (50cal conical)
rest round ball
silver eagle, (cva botcat pretty much I be leave by the ssn it was made in 95) (going to check the twice)
50cal hawken
hopefully 54cal hawken

since I only have 2f goex, I am going to hold out on shooting the flinter. no matter how much I want to start trying it out.

Do you have an order of importance? I can be very scattered brain at times which helps me make a hastley decision.

Corey, since you only have Goex FFg yo're going to hold out shooting the flinter!? Why? FFg was made for a flinter. If yo're worried about powder for the pan, use a plastic bowl and a wooden dowel (with a rounded end) and mash up a little FFg for your pan.

If I am not mistaken he has a range for a backyard (I bet that must be awesome!)

I have a 200 yard range on my property and always burning powder also....Corey, I also use Goex 2F....

Yeah, you guys got a point. I forgot about that. Cayugad can just go 'out back' and shoot. Another plus to that is - you don't have to go far if you forgot something. Which happens to me often enough. Especially when I am in a hurry.

FFg GOEX works just fine in the pan of a flintlock.

darn it, I was trying to make it easier on my self to choose what comes with me on my next range session :P

Corey, just put a number on each one. Put the numbers in a hat and draw out. Whichever is drawn will be your 1st project. Problem solved. lol

lol, I normally take two

I have some time to think about it. I may not be able to get to the range for a few weeks. I figured someone would hurt me if I go shooting on the 28th. lol

dont forget a tool to tighten up the jaws and a flint knapping tool.

my advantage is I do a lot of mood shooting. If I am in the mood for a flintlock, I shoot a flintlock. If I am on the range and my mood changes, so does my rifle. Or if I have new bullets.. well then I pick rifles I want to try them in. You can not fathom how nice it is to be 30 feet from the back door of the house and shoot.

Gotta be nice to go out and shoot a dozen rounds on a whim. Sure wish I could to that.

I tend to have long 50-shot range sessions because of the 80 mile drive to the hunting lease. At least I have a nice little shack to stay in when I go there, and the range is only 25 yards from my hooch.

When trying to decide this I will ask myself what gun and how many of them will I feel like cleaning that night when I get home and I am tired and just want to drink a beer on the couch.

That question will quickly narrow down the range candidates!

Especially when it gets cold there. The ability to quickly get in the house to warm up must be great!

There are times I have considered extending the garage and making a heated shooting house on the back end of it with a full cleaning and working on guns station there. So all I would have to do on cold, wet, raining days would be open a window and shoot out of the garage. But then.. what kind of sport is that. It is nice to know hot coffee is only thirty feet away on a cold winter day.

:s2: That's funny! I've often considered building a small enclosure around one of the benches on our rifle range so I could add a little 500 b.t.u. A/C and shoot in June, July and August.

it would be nice to have an range in my back yard. funny thing is I have the local law enforcement range 1/4mile from my house. wish it was open to the public. :(

still have the debate of what I am going to take. I am working an short early shift this coming week, thinking about heading out then.

debating on doing an sight in session (50cal hawken and the silver eagle) or an conical test/sight in, (knight usak for the conical either the 50cal hawken or silver eagle sight in)

There you go!!! Become a volunteer/honorary Deputy or something like that.
