Hello all: Hope you don't mind if I share some really cool news about my son Mark... The local newspaper where he goes to school ran this really neat article about his being elected to serve as the SGA (Student Government Association) President -- and it was all done while he was studying abroad ove...

Nice shot! That's as good as a 2-shot group as you can get! My twin brother did that once -- over many years -- and still has the arrows in the cellar as a keepsake. Of course, I kept telling him to take a 3rd shot, but he didn't................ Oh, and fine looking young man and a nice bow too! Old...

Ahoy the campfire: This is a follow-up to a recent post of mine where I was debating between staying with my tried & true (and traditional) sidelock muzzleloader, or adopting the shiny new & modern inline. Thanks to all those who posted on that recent thread: Sidelock OR Inline As you can te...

This is as good as sitting around the campfire during buck season and the boys are passing around the "Jack". Hey wait!?! Where's the Jack ??? And how come it hasn't been passed around to this side of the fire??? :wink: True story... When my late Dad served in England on a fighter base du...

Old No7

Please let me state right up front that the intent of my post is NOT to start a war between those who prefer the traditional sidelocks for blackpowder rifles and those who favor the modern inlines. This is an " OR " discussion, thank you very much, not a " VERSUS " arguement... ...

Hello all: Had a little luck on Monday morning… Opening Day of the 2009 Maine Wild Turkey Season. Luckily, it took only 1 shot on Sunday afternoon to confirm the Tru-Glo fiber-optic sights that mount on the vent rib of my BPS were shooting right where I needed them. (Set them up 8 years ago, and as ...

Is it the pic, or is the label on the inside of the lid a bit loose ?

Yes, it is loose -- sharp eyes!

Thanks all for the kind complements!

Hello gang: Thought I'd share some pictures of my latest shop project, a "French-fitted" storage box for my Uberti Schofield. Got the plain box for $20.00, spent $5.00 for a lid support, $3.00 for green felt, and $30.00 for the cavalry belt buckle, crossed cavalry swords and oil bottle fro...

Do a search for "mouse guns", as there's a website I checked back when I first got my Taurus PT-22 * which had reviews of all "sub caliber" (small bore) backup or hideout guns. * You can search my posts for a review of that one, as well as the Bersa Thunder 380 CC which I ended u...

With so many guard pix, I had to break this series into 2 parts...

The best viewing is from up front, at the corners of the middle gates, but you'l...

Cheers to all. Here's the next series of pix from London... Sure hope you are enjoying these as much as I enjoyed taking and sharing them.

Oxpho Blue for me too -- but get the Cream formulation, not the liquid. The cream doesn't "run" as it is thicker-er, for lack of a better word (sorta like maple syrup -- just don't lick it!). For rounded parts as commonly found on guns, you cannot beat the cream. Also, like another posted...

FYI, I have read and been told that the repro Schofield's are a "no no" when it comes to shooting black powder -- the action is too tight and not designed for it -- so use smokeless only, for best results. But what do I know??? Am sitting here in southern Germany, drinking Jack Daniel's (y...
