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.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

I got a few pictures of Danznbar and Stixnstones shooting their flint locks at Moontree.






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!
