Rondy's are where you dress up in period clothes. I don't think he wanted to go that far.

long rider · March 28, 2008, 11:01 PM

Now why did i not think of that.
I went to one in wy in 96 cool.

Hawg · March 28, 2008, 11:25 PM

A rondy with western guns and western garb is a CAS match.

**4V50 Gary** · March 29, 2008, 12:39 AM

I don't have period clothes. I show up in blue jeans and t-shirt. I'm genre Homo-slobbicus-Americanus.

I've shot 3D Archery with a few members of Archery Talk but that Idea would be cool.

Some deep valley somewhere, with no wind. Thousands of smokepoles and six-shooters going off. Forest Service would go nuts at the 'Wildfire' in progress!

The Doc is out now.

Anyone got connections for oxygen tanks and masks???

The most BP shooters gathered at one time, that I know of or have been part of, is at Winchester Va. at the N-SSA spring and fall Nationals, held every year. The firing line has to be almost a half mile long, or more. the smoke is incredible on a windlass day. The sound of all them muskets firng at one time, is a BP shooters joy. You have to be part of it or winess it.

A hot firing line is something to hear alright.......not the sounds you normally hear in the movies...........another experience is to be in the "pits" pulling targets at a rifle match. When you hear "pfft" of the bullet hitting the paper followed instantly by a "CRACK" and then a faint "boom" from the firing line, with an occasional "whiizzz" of a round tumbled by a low hit on the berm, or the "ziiiing" of one that hits a rock.......then multiply that by 10..20...30... as the case may be, you begin to wonder how ANYONE could get up the nerve to charge a line of riflemen......

Rebel Dave that has got to be one of the most impressive sights around. i would have loved to do it.

shortwave · March 30, 2008, 11:37 AM

balls with 22 grns of 777, i got to talking with this guy
he was shooting a flintlock, he was telling me of this
muzzle club, its called the muzzle stuffers ( cool name )
