Howdy Y'all,
I'm back. Had a great time at the shoot. I won the Long Range Black Powder Lever rifle side match(That's a mouthful) I ended up 11th in my category and 54th overall out of 280 shooters. Had 2 misses for the match with 8 clean stages. May post some photos as I upload them.

Way to go, pard.
What rifle did ya use for Long Range?

I used my Marlin 1895CB 45-70 loaded with 60 grains of FFg with a 405 grain Lead FN over a wonder wad it was shot standing  with iron sights with a SASS Buffalo target at 150 yards

Marlin's are good guns. I sure like mine.

Supposed to get real hot here today, guess I'll have to run the air one more time

According to my home page this morning, there was some unfortunate excitement in Del's area last night. involved guns at a cold storage facility.............Buck

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Mornin' Pards. Thanks for the coffee, Slim.

Good thing Del wasn't involved in the CS. I'll keep an eye out for something on that. Thanks, Buck.

It's a nice day here. I'm off to Atascadero this morning. Be back later on.

[Delmonico]

CS place is part of Farmland in Crete, BIL works in the other building and was at work.  Don't know a lot of details yet except 3 hurt and the shooter shot himself dead. SIL called Rita last night and told her George was OK in case we heard something about it.

I enjoy mine also, shooting it about the same as Majer cept i use a fiber wad not the wonder wad.

Del that looks like a mess of good fence post and firewood.



Good to see everyone is up and around.

[Ozark Tracker]

Del,  looks like it did make a mess of the trees,   gonna make a heap of wood but I bet it's gonna be some tough sawin.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

I mentioned that to him, too, OT

[Ozark Tracker]

I know they can make some fine bows  out of that wood and good walking sticks/

[Ozark Tracker]

we've been busy with new birds since last Wed, bout to get em brooded,  so maybe it'll slow down a little.

Daughter Amy is leaving for Army Basic Training  Sept 28 th,  next Tuesday,  She'll be going to Ft. Sill ,  Ok for the basic and then to Ft. Sam Houston  for her AIT,  she's training for a field medic,
Jackie's not to keen on all this,  but  it's too late for that. 
 Amy's  28 years old,  so I don't know how all this will work out for her.   I know when I went,  I was 20 and it almost killed me the first few weeks.
we're just hopin she don't have any problems,  kinda keep her in yer thought's for us,   thanks.

[Silver Creek Slim]

I'll be praying for her, OT.

My dad spent time at Ft Sill in the late 50's and early 60's.

Slim

[Ozark Tracker]

she's looking forward to going,   I know they aren't supposed to be as hard as they once were,  but  I guess we'll see

I know the kids will be awful lonesome for her,  their toogether all the time that they aren't in school.
