Title: How well do you know your co-workers?
Post by: Ohio Joe on June 26, 2017, 01:56:54 PM
Today I wore my Fess Parker Memorial Shoot baseball cap to work today and one of my co-workers (who is a new hire and been at the store for 3+ weeks now) asked me about it. Well naturally I told her, and she told me she shoots a traditional flintlock rifle!  :hairy

I would have never guessed. We spent the last 10 minutes before I went to lunch, talking flintlocks, and I'm sure we'll talk some more this afternoon and many a days ahead. She also shoots a black powder pistol.  :bl th up

Always enjoy finding out when a person you know has the same muzzle loading interests. Who knows, maybe we'll have us another TMA Paper Silhouette shooter next year?  :bl th up

Well said my friend!
That goes for mine too, never in wildest dreams did I ever think I would having such a hard time getting to the range in order to shoot, but like many things in life you simply play the hand you've been dealt.

Joe,... you never know do ya.
I had a neighbor stop by about a week ago asking if I had any interest in renting some of my farm ground out.
While he was here, he asked me what I'd been up to,... I told him I've been gettin' ready for rendezvous.
He said,... "I didn't know you were into that sort'a stuff, I've got a flintlock that I've never been able to get to shoot."
I told him,.... I'd been playin' with'em for 40 years and to stop by with it sometime, and I'd see if I could help him out with it.

He was pretty excited by the time he left.  :laffing :bl th up

Yes sir, we just never know. Kind'a makes a feller wonder just how much of this sport/hobby of traditional muzzle loading is laying dormant since its hay-day?  :*:

Also found out today that my new co-worker also has gone to the same Rendezvous as I attend. Chadron Fur Trade Days. I expect if she wore her Rondy outfit to work, I'd a probably recognized her...  :shake :*:
