Great looking website and I imagine from your rules that everyone has a ton of fun. In the second picture, what is that stuff on the ground.....snow? Yike in the San Diego area we don't shoot if it gets below 50 degrees!
if you wuz about 150 miles closer......................
Great website - looks like a great group of folks and a lot of fun! I wish we had a club like this in my area. Years ago, we had a NMLRA sanctioned group that we would get together once a month for a informal shoot - lots of kidding and laughter and nobody took the hassle nor the shooting too seriously. Thanks for posting and just goes to show you what can be done for those that are interested enough to make it happen! Good luck to you all!
Ha! At our winter sporting and military rifle shoots, cut off temperature is 25 degrees. For the muzzleloader club, no holds barred, if you can stand to be there, we shoot~!Originally Posted by oldracer
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
Thank you for the invitation it looks like you have a fine club.
And I would like to extend my best wishes to everyone and also extend our invitation to my clubs Rendevous this weekend in Manistee Michigan. I'll post our website, and we're wishing you all a great summer.

oldracer ... The picture with the white stuff is indeed snow. On that day we had a combination of elements that resulted in very unusual conditions for this area. Normally we're close enough to Washington, DC that the political hot air keeps things nice. But, as I remember, on this day the ambient temperature was -5 F degrees and the wind chill was -20 degrees. Yep, those are negative numbers. One guy with a flintlock had to stack it next to the wood stove so the frizzen would get warm enough to spark. Spit patches would freeze to the roundball and go flapping down range. Wiping patches would freeze half way down the bore. The young lady had a roundball freeze to her fingers. Yep, we do have our fun in interesting ways, don't we.
The one thing I notice from the pictures on the home page is it appears there is an extreme shortage of the plastic gun generation.
Maybe if there was more of these being sold:
A vote for anyone other then the conservative candidates is a vote for the liberal candidates.
