I am not sure of the other classes, but Rich Dillon won Best of Class in the journeyman class. Beautiful Tennessee rifle, Rich.

I got to handle it at Friendship.  It's a sweet piece.  Jim has a neat story to go with it too.

This forum is great! I know about the Steffy side of my family but didn't know you built muzzleloaders until you emailed me about my recent posts. These photos from Dixon's.... We sat 50 ft away from each other in a seminar on stock scraping(I think) without even knowing relation and common interest. We gotta talk! ;D

I took some pictures of Jim's pistol at the show, and there's some nice detailed shots of it in John Schipper's new engraving book.  At least I'[m pretty sure it's the same pistol.  I agree....remarkable workmanship!
