Henry Rifle Forums

Seems like he hasn’t been around for a few months. Has he posted and I just missed it?

Probably disappeared back into the 1800s and didn't take his computer along. That's where his heart has been for a long time.

Well said!

Still kickin', life back in 1820 is good. Been camping lots, was in a shooting competition a few weeks back, my longrifle against a bunch of black powder cartridge rifle shooters. My Frontier patched round ball vs several Sharps, Highwalls, Rolling Blocks of various calibers. Targets from 50 to 130 yds. Tied for first with a Highwall guy. I was the only one to hit a little 8" steel rabbitt at 130 yds off hand. Pretty happy with that. Thanks for checking on me.

Good to hear from you Keith. Congrats on the shooting.

Wow, that campsite photo looks like an excellent oil painting. Very cool!

A buddy of mine and I started a group called Alberta Mountain Men, modeled after the American Mountain Men organization in the US. Requirements are to have all of your gear, clothes, buckskins, camps etc as period correct to 1800-1840 fur trade era as possible. Not so much reenacting but more living history type stuff. Must start fire with flint & steel under all weather conditions, no cots, stuff like that.

Just acquired a new knife recently that is a real nice one. Sheffield brand Nowill 8" butcher. Authentic to the period. Carbon steel. No stainless allowed.

Sounds like your living the dream there sir, and some dandy rifleman skills. Awesome.
I like the knife.
Glad you poke your head in for a minute.
Take care and keep on keeping on.

Oh yeah, I like the camp site pic. for sure.

That camp site pic would look great on canvas.
