Been working for a couple days on this shooting bench. Plan to have a little get together this weekend and do some shooting. This should be a nice sturdy platform to bench rest the rifles off of. Made the base from the deck boards I tore off the house and the top is rough sawn cypress.







Just needs a little sealer and she's good!

Looks nice Scott. We have one permanently set up back by our original pond. It is so much more handy to have one ready to use anytime you feel like sending a few rounds down range.

Bet it takes two men and a boy to move that around.  :)

The cypress is surprisingly light, but still the thing was not made to move around. Should have my AR by the weekend, so hope to get er good an broke in.

I spent the afternoon in one of my log hunting blinds. I had a button head at 15 yards and a couple of does at 40 but the does were looking at me which makes a flintlock shot difficult so I passed.

The rifle is a .54 I made several years ago, not the best crafting job but it gets it done and is very accurate.



I sit with the gun cocked and a leather cover over the frizzen (no sparks) so it can't go off accidently. It is a lot easier to flip the frizzen cover off than to try to cock the hammer quietly with cold hands in the heat of the battle. It takes a bunch of of pressure to cock the hammer, flintlock main springs are really stout.

My latest project is to build a TC flintlock Renegade rifle from a variety of collected parts. I have been steaming all the dents out of what was once a really rough stock.

Say what they will about the historical accuracy of TC guns, the barrels were sound and accurate!
