Spring Shoot! Gaaaaaahhhh!

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Who's going to Friendship? We're one week out, kiddies! I like to do the woods walk.

 

[Mongo59]

I plan a supply trip for all the goodies I need...

 

[Beowulf]

I really want to go. I've never been. I'll have to see if I can fit it into my schedule. Hopefully, I can make it on one of the Saturdays.

From those that go regularly, is there enough to do/see for people not participating in the various matches?

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Oh, heck yes. There's the primitive area, with mountain men, traders, little indian sqaws, blacksmith, etc, there's two flea markets, the sheepshed shops on the grounds, all kinds of stuff. A caveat. Everyone is packing up the second weekend, so come on the first one.
Oops, almost forgot. There's a log cabin when you first come in the gates. That's the gunmakers' hall. It has some of the most beautiful rifles you'll ever see, and the old liars out behind it are making more. You can see them work and ask questions. Also, the house up on the hill is a museum. You can ride the horse drawn trolley back and forth. There are usually displays in the education center, too.

Just punch Friendship Indiana into your navigator. It's a pretty small place.

Man, I hope the wife isn't working Sunday. MBM is Saturday, so that's a no go.

I haven't been in forever. Is the hatchet guy still around? ****, what was his name. Bill something?

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Not up on the hawks. Several vendors carry them, though.

We used to go twice a year when I was a kid (the 70's) we drove up 62, turned at the big steer on the restaurant, and turned right on that danged crooked butt road to Friendship, past my favorite school... (Friendship Consolidated school , closed) then into town, and the range....hope this helps......Going on Monday now, my son has plans for Sunday, but still wants to go, so Monday it is!!

 

[Mongo59]

Tomorrow is the day for my brother and myself! Taking the 1863 Springfield and the 1858 Harpers Ferry.

I hope they have the guy with the modern firearms parts, I might be bringing a wheelbarrow...
