Are you staying for the whole shoot? I'd love to meet some fellow Ingo'ers

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Not the whole shoot. I have an appointment Wednesday morning in Indy with a saw man for my knees. Don't know if I'll be staying after that or not.

I am still recovering from the heat yesterday! What a scorcher.

The largest traffic jam I have been in since Biketoberfest.

Lots of good people to talk to and everything you could possibly want to buy except original military parts. They have all the newer reproduction parts you need (smaller diameter, finer threads) but no clunky, chunky original stuff.

I promised myself I would get all my 'needs' before I would allow myself to look for 'wants', my legs gave out before the 'need' list was even full.

I did stock up on primers, .58cal Minie balls, jags and such, it was worth the trip just for that.

Anyone driving west on 62 coming home I can recommend the "88 Chinese Buffet" in Madison between Kroger and Tractor Supply. They had the weekend fare with all the seafood! My brother and I had all we could hold for less than $22 including drinks.

I’m heading in this afternoon. We’ll see if I can avoid heatstroke

It was wicked before that little squall blew through just now. I shot the woods walk with my ex wife's boyfriend. She kept score for us. My first time through with a flinter, and I flinched way too much. Probably my worst score ever. So humid my primer was caking up, and I had to start priming with 3f from my flask. Good company, though. Neither one of them had ever walked the course, so something new for them. Few changes to the course, mostly for the better. Dang, my knees hurt!

Whelp, heading home. I was a bit disappointed in the Peddlers Row. I was hoping for antique military BP stuff, but I guess it’s really a different scene. I should see if I can find an antique gun/Civil War/etc show.

I did pick up some Lee casting handles and some more bullets, for my muskets and some 9mm and .45 ACP RN.

So, not so bad for $10 entry ($5 to park right across from the entrance and $5 to get in).

My dad went on Friday and sold powder yesterday. I stayed home and took my kids bluegill fishing. Too hot to fish, definitely too hot to go to friendship. This week suould be a good week with the upcoming weather.

Ill try in the fall, too dadgum busy this year.

I think I might start a wheelbarrow rental next year, with cushions and headrests...

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?

Beaver Bill, he wasn;t there but another guy (Ed Cooper) was using his booth.

 

[pitbulld45]

went Saturday and Sunday, Saturday was very packed and hot, Sunday wasn't nearly as busy in the morning. Like always a lot for sale and some really cool period correct firearms being shot.

 

[Magyars]

The guy with all the sights is on the road side of the sheep barn second shop from the corner. Something like 'black powder LLC',

We shot the woods walk again today. Gregory did pretty well, and I switched to an old CVA woods carbine in percussion and did way better. The weather has been much better the last couple of days.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Well, another national shoot is in the books. Probably my worst woods walk year ever, but I was so happy just to finally be back. The creek came up out of its banks last night, and was still up when I went down this afternoon to fetch my trailer. See you all next year!

I figured that lower part had to have flooded with as much rain fall that hit.

Campers at Clifty Falls said they had 6in Friday night...
