Day in The Woods
« on: February 21, 2009, 11:35:15 AM »
Took my new/old flintlock hunting today.  I had some deer close, but not close enough to tell if they were bucks.  I did some plinking & drank a cold IBC rootbeer for lunch.  Temp was in the low 60s.  Awesome day with God.

She hang fires just a tad, but is very accurate.  I need to get some 4F, new style vent liners, and send the lock back to T/C for tweaking.

The new rammer I made worked fine.

I was out again today.  I missed a squirrel, but I saw this near my stand.

Swampman,

That's a very nice picture of you. Thanks for sharing. You and Steve Martin look a lot alike.
