Heap plenty round balls?  It is embarrassing to run out mid way through the shoot; powder in the horns, priming grade and shooting grade?  Ball puller just n case?   Jug full for the cleaning party after the shoot?  Retort book ready for all the s. A. Remarks if you miss?😀😂 >:D👹.  Have a good shoot!

You don't see many Hawkens with that pretty wood in the stock, I've seen it in person. GORGEOUS rifle buddy, gorgeous.

Mike hit a 6" steel target 2 for 2 with his gun.  That was some impressive shooting.

Dbar I have plenty of confidence in you and that gun but when I saw who you were shooting against I knew you had a run for your money, good job Sticks!
