Is the love dying? I haven't been on this site for about a week and nothing new has been posted! I can't wait to get back home to PA and do some shooting. I'm here in McKinney TX roasting my buns off. It was 104* today!! I go outside and turn into a sweat factory. But I got my tile job for my daughter done (almost 600 sq ft). I'll leave the grouting to my son-in-law cause my knees are killing me.
I assume Hoyt has my .54 flintlock barrel done so I'll be looking forward to shooting that in addition to my .58.
Bad news is that I didn't draw my Maine moose tag but I have a 3 day hunt in NC for deer and hogs in October.

We've had a LOT of rain lately. Which is a good thing considering how dry it was in the forest. Then you add in yard work, wood cutting, and gardens ... I really have not shot much this month. Although that is going to change maybe tomorrow. Unless I go fishing.

Ninety-eight degrees here today with 74% humidity. Almost died cutting the lawn. Going fishing Saturday. My typical long shooting session just would not be enjoyable, and it's too far to the hunting lease for just a short session or two.

To damn hot to shoot.

Besides being wet an hot, I fell an jammed my right hand. Its a wonder I didn't break a bone, can not make a fist or hold a fishing rod so no way I can stand the recoil of a gun. Did it last saturday so it should be good in a month I hope, then it will be too hot for sure!

Sucks getting old!!

Well it seems the heat is all over except in my home state of PA. Calls to home say the temps are still in the upper 50s to low 60s at night and maybe reaching 80 during the day. Not too bad for shooting. And if I head up north to the cabin it should be cooler (but possibly more humid). I'll find out, not this weekend but maybe next weekend.

I got 4 shots in this evening with my 58 hawken. Gotta love the smoke of that jim shockeys gold during the late evening! I just shot some plinker loads for fun. Maybe tomorrow break out the lead pot and lead stash and start casting some more ammo.

Its that time of year I guess. Lots of the same around here: warm, yard work, vacations, etc.

However the wife decided I'd been writing to many checks for something that I enjoyed. She doesn't shoot, so she decided she'd mix things up for something WE would do together. The check she wrote was much larger than those I've written............

Now to find a way to mount the gun case and shoot'n box

Can't catch a break. Too hot to shoot so I went fishing.

The white dot on the screen capture below is where my son an I were fishing when the weather started building all around us. Twenty minute run back to the boat launch in increasing rain with lightning strikes in every direction. Scary as all get out.

The screen capture is 30 minutes after we got the boat on the trailer.

Wel looks like you had the hotspot all to yourself.



Glad you are safe!
