[Rockindaddy]

Plenty of cast boolits went down range this past Sunday at the annual Gatling Gun Shoot at Charlie Smithgal's Farm in Drumore, York County, Pennsylvania. Pumpkin pie was make as result of many heavy lead boolits going downrange. Various Gatling Guns, a Nordenfelt, Gardner Gun, and even an Agar Gun ( Coffee Mill) were chuggin. The Artillery Museum was open with a vast assortment of period canons. 319685319686319687319688319688319689319690319691

*Is there anyone on this site who know's how to load photos so they are not out of rotation?????

[Winger Ed.]

Now that's going to be cool.

Most photo programs have button where you can rotate a photo.

If you are on a (not so)smart phone, that flips the image on the screen when you rotate it--
you might out smart it by rotating the phone 90 degrees as your saving the photo.

You know a good time was going to be had when there is a five gallon bucket of loaded 45-70 sitting on the line

Denny Tippmann builds a small size Gatling in 9mm. I saw one at the Gatling Gun Shoot. A 6 year old kid was turning the crank . The kid's father was assisting him. They had a good time!

It looks like a Hoot! I really miss the annual Hiram Maxim shoot in Dover-Foxcroft Maine. It was done in by the press, (resulted in so many people showing up that they couldn't deal with the crowd).

Too bad; I heard that was a great shoot. We would have a strip mine shoot several years ago. Sunk a pile of old fiberglass boats in the pond. Things were going well until the old strip mine was sold.

I missed any advanced notice of this shoot. Do they do it every year? I'd love to go and see it.

Usually it is the first Sunday in November every year. Drumore. PA at the Smithgall artillery museum.
