Title: Eastern Pennsylvania Shoots - PHOTOS POSTED
Post by: xring2245 on May 05, 2011, 03:17:21 PM
     There are several shoots being held in eastern Pennsylvania over the next two weekends.
     There are three this weekend.  Lancaster County Longrifles will be hosting their rendezvous with a wide variety of shooting events today through Saturday.  Blue Mountain is shooting on Saturday, and First Frontier Militia is shooting on Sunday.
     Brandywine Longrifles will be shooting next Saturday, 14 May.
     I will be shooting at First Frontier Militia on Sunday and Brandywine next Saturday.  I will post photos from both events.
     If anyone has photos from any of these events, please post here.

Thanks,
James

Any club that is located on PICKLE ROAD, outside of a village named LUCKY, is special.

Title: First Frontier Militia - PHOTOS from 8 May 11 Shoot
Post by: xring2245 on May 09, 2011, 09:57:11 AM
Here are some photos from yesterday's shoot.  Roger Fisher will have to help fill in some names.

Roger Fisher is letting one off with his "sissy gun" (as he calls it).  Roger shot well, taking a second in the aggregate match, winning the smoothbore match, and winning a few of the reentry matches.

I had to discharge a ball because of oil fouling in the breech.  The ball and patch were reusable.

Which one do I use now?

You had some wonderful weather for your shoot.  I love the pictures.  I "WILL" make it to one of these events someday!  I will bring the Wife too, "she shoots better than I do"

Definitely come.  Shoots are second Sunday from March through December.  Bring your wife too.  We have several women who shoot, although they weren't there yesterday.

I think that the "Sailor Jerry Rum" bottle makes a perfect container for a homemade Chardonnay!!  ;D  Of course, it's gotta be emptied first... ::)
