 We made an afternoon of trying out a new rifle. A cased English Sporting Rifle made by George Suiter and the talented folks at Colonial Williamsburg. Everyone got to cast their own balls and give the 58 a try on the range.
 The great thing about collecting contemporary Longrifles is sharing the experience with others!!
 Great stuff for sure.

Looks like a good time in good weather at a nice range. Names to faces is the only thing missing.  ;)

I know all of those dashing gents. What a handsome bunch. That Gahagan gun sure is nice!
 Did the English gun shoot good?

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

Hatchet Jack didn’t show up to take pictures this Sunday so I tried my hand at it.

Looks like the weather cooperated after all.  Sorry I missed it.
I did make some gun making progress at least…

We’re going to start shooting on Saturdays because Sunday afternoon is creek sitting and barbecue day. It’s hard to concentrate on the 10 ring when you’ve got a bunch of females running around in their swimming suits!!
