That's the spirit, Salty!  Unfortunately our weather forecast is for rain through next Sunday.  While the shooting stations are covered, I am not going to put on rain gear and rubber boots so I can wade to the target stands, even if it's warm out.  Maybe next week....

Ain't nuthin wrong with winning a few prizes.
 I haven't tried beaver either but I did learn once at a place called
  Saint marie among the Iroquois ,( a 1600s interpretative center in Syracuse)
That beaver was consider a fish by the priests , due to it living mostly in water
Therefore it was ok to eat on fridays during lent.
There's a way around everything.

I envy your ability to do things like that. Good luck. My wife and I went to a wild game feed at a local church last evening. Plenty of really good food and fellowship. Even saw some beaver. After reading some negative things about beaver, I just couldn't bring myself to try any of it And they had lots of door prizes. But nothing black powder related. I did win these two items, so was feeling pretty good. [ Invalid Attachment ]

So got the plug pretty well cut it to match the butt
 [ Invalid Attachment ]
 But the way I was going to install the lid catch ain't gonna work
 [ Invalid Attachment ]
 So after playing with a few different things I think this may work as a simple catch.

 Just a piece of hacksaw blade, mocked up on some scrap wood for now.
 It should fit between the butt plate and just catch the lid.
 But that's it for now, it'll have to wait till next weekend.

Trail Walks and Trekking / The Patriot "Rescue" scene.....
« Last post by BlackPowderManiacShooter on March 01, 2026, 04:39:23 PM »
I enjoyed watching The Patriot Movie. In fact, I've watched it multiple times. I tried to recreate The Patriot's famous tomahawk movie scene on a $50.00 budget.
This video has one camera man, 3 cheap cameras, one actor and one film editor.
Enjoy:
