Lewis,
Yes, John M(can't spell his last name) is the owner. I made lots and lots of the brass range rods and brass undergun rods as well. Frankly, I kinda miss working with the brass rods. They were fun to play with.
RE: The Coeur d'Alene Muzzleloaders. They have been in existence since 1977. Good group of guys. A lot of people are new since I last was an active member. I honestly do not recollect when their monthly shoot is, on a Sunday, I think. For weather related reasons, I believe their last shoot of the year is in September and then they start up again in April. And I could be off on that, it could be in October but with hunting season, I really doubt that. And yes, the shoot is at Farragut and the park has been slightly changed now so that you do not have to go through the main gate to get to the shooting range. Instead of turning off the roundabout to go into the park, now you continue around it a little more then turn off towards Bayview, then go on that road maybe a mile and turn right there. Saves you park admission fees. Matches are varied. Sometimes they will be 10 ring paper targets, sometimes they will be paper novelty and other times they will be silhouettes. I think the club has two full sets of NMLRA silhouettes. IIRC, all the matches are shot offhand and with open iron sights and patched round ball. I think, it's been a good while since I shot with them.
The club has a rendezvous once a year in June held in Blanchard, I believe it is. I try to make it up every couple of years for that. Feels like I am getting due to head up there again. Need my pine pollen fix, doncha know?
Hope if and when I do get up there that we will have a chance to meet up and share a cuppa.
John
