I got some medals today!

[David LaPell]

This weekend we had our semi-annual black powder matches in Saratoga Springs. While I won't know the results for a while (at least 100 competitors, I was number 50, over 3 days and a whole variety of matches) the medals I got today were from the June matches. The 1860 Army took bronze for 3rd place (25 yards offhand, one handed) and my little 1853 Enfield Musketoon won silver for 100 yards offhand. I think I actually did better today in some matches then before, time will tell.

This was a local event although there was some crossever with some guys that do compete in the NSSA. The next big match is in the spring so I am going to go through all of my other muzzleloaders (so far that little musketoon shoots the best but only with minie balls) and see what other matches I can compete in. If you wanted to you could literally compete all three days in so many different matches.

REALLY like that 1860 Army--those 4 screws in close quarters looks 8) KNOW you had fun!!!!

 

[David LaPell]

The grips on the 1860 are imitation micarta, they came with the gun when I bought it new. I am thinking about getting some with a bit more character like an American shield, but I kind of like these.
