Thanks for the great videos, Craig. Now I'm homesick!

[45bpcr]

We really missed you my friend.
You would have been proud of Carolyn when she handed me a big mug of whoop @ss on saturday :-)

Craig

[WILCO]

Great videos! Thanks for sharing.

[Cimarron Red]

Craig,

Tell Carolyn that for her score to count she has to cast her own bullets! :-D

I sure could use a good spotter for this weekend at Lewistown.
Are you available?
I sure miss you Pard .

Hi, Ed,

If I were back in Pa, I'd go to Lewistown with you, old buddy!


Craig,

Dusty Ed runs the buffalo shoots at the Mainville Sportsmen's Club, just a few miles south of I-80, exit 242 east of Bloomsburg.

It's a great shoot, and there's a place to park your trailer. Next shoot is October 19, so leave early for the October Ridgway shoot and spend a couple of days at Mainville. Ed's match has a 100 yard running steel buffalo among other shooters' delights!

[45bpcr]

That's not a good thing to know. :-)

When we drive out to Ridgway, we stop and camp outside of Bloomsburg at a campground in Catawissa. Indian Head campground. The guy who owns it is a shooter and does alot with black powder and old rifles. We've made some friends in the area and have been to the Bloomsburg fair twice now.
In theory, I'm going to winterize our trailer this weekend and put it away here at the shop so camping will be over for this year. For the October shoot we'll just be loading the truck and staying at a hotel somewhere in the area.
