Fun Times Keeping Busy With Lead.....

I get it New, I got rid of most of my airplane stuff at one time to make room to build guitars for a few years…Black powder is fun and pretty cost effective…. Only drawback is you have to let the smoke clear to see if you hit the target or not LOL!!!

Nothing like BS and law/rules to keep from having some FUN ! You still gardening i know you said you usually grow hot peppers ? I been busy as I can with mine and still having to fix all the broken crap around here got more stuff broke than fixed LOL

when I moved to commiefornia in 2000, I needed to discharge my revolver.

in Texas, I used to keep a black powder revolver in the glovebox of my truck, as a 'shenanigan deterrent'
looks formidable
legal to carry
giant cloud of smoke
will set your target aflame if enough powder chases the ball.

and I lived on a ranch, so a few rounds of target practice every month kept the powder and primers fresh, me in shape, etc.

however, they don't like you to be armed out here on the left coast.
and there was nowhere convenient for practice.
there is a county run range, but its a drive from the house.

so I called a fancy indoor place, to make sure they would let me shoot.
"we have fan driven ventilation, it will be fine"

first shot, dead on target, but the suction fan is at one side of the line, so everyone between me and the fan? was amazed at the cloud that rolled across.
second shot, dead on target, again, big cloud
Rangemaster asked if I was done, I told him i had 3 more. they moved me to end of line, right by the fan intake

3 QUICK shots, all on target - and they told me if I packed up and left, there would be no fee.
but if I re-loaded, they would charge me double for an hour's range time.


Powder is fun! 1.5 years till I move out to the ranch in Colorado, and I will make big clouds of smoke, and toss large balls of lead downrange


good luck selling off motors and such.... better luck shooting!

That's crazy Charles . Funny > You know why some people shoot there pistoils side ways ? > Because Thas the way it came out the box !

never understood sideways. asked a feller, he said he seen it in a movie-show.
