You go to any of those outfits, tell 'em Drydock put you up to it.  THey all  know me, I was the local BP guy for years (The Great Missouri Skeeter Killer!)  I think most of them would be tickled to see you shoot a Krag and your Colt DA.

Sir Charles! Gosh it's good hearing from you again! I sure wish you could attend the Dept. of the Missouri Muster in a couple of weeks!

Would like to come out there and miss shooting with you all. It sounds like your shoot this year will have everything that anyone could hope for!

Too busy right now, but then there's next year.

We've had a few people from other clubs shoot with us, and the first thing they say is always "Your targets are way farther out than ours!"  We hardly ever have any problem with splatter, because our targets aren't fifteen feet away.  You actually have to aim to hit them!  (Perish the thought!)

Aim????  does that have something to do with that funny looking thing out where the bullet comes out?

Yes, it turns out those two little dinguses on top of the barrel are fairly important!

Problem is I don't think a lot of folks know what they is for anymore.

There were something like 36 sight combinations that the Krag was issued with. Wouldn't want to let all that work our forefathers did go to waste ;)
