J.J.Roberts: That must have taken some time and effort to put together. I'm jealous as all get out. I'm sure your not done as it seems you always find something you just can't live without. I had a nice room full at one time but my wife took up quilting and most of my stuff is in boxes and storage but at least she is happy and you know that saying. Thomas

I have been shooting sporting clays for 10 years now. Started in "E" class and worked my way up to Master class. These are a few of the awards. Alot of them you don't see in he pictures. I have 44,000 registered targets with about another 100,000 in practice. I do shoot alot. It is fun to travel to all the different clubs. I do like meeting other shooters. It is alot of fun.

It's a Pedersoli from Dixie Gun Works. I bought it in the early nineties. It was a reduced price showroom model with handling marks, etc. So, I refinished it, and did some extra stock carving to make it mine.
John Dallas
01-14-2016, 12:27 PM
Boy, Do I have good memories of Elliot Island. A good friend of mine is Dave's neighbor. It's a hidden piece of the Eastern Shore's history. (and the duck shooting and soft shell crabbing aren't too bad either!)

I have spent some time over at Wingate, across the water from Elliots Island. I just love that area of Maryland. I wish I had the nerve to buy a piece of it. The Lovely Linda's father spent a lot of time on the top side of Fishing Bay where he enjoyed a duck club there.

I have never been east of Utah . one of these days if i can ever get the time off or come up with enough money would like to make it to the midwest and east coast. unfortunately very limited on time and money. heck it was a stretch and luckley Thomas (old geezer) let me pay him 300. up front on the parker i bought from him and pay him the rest a couple of weeks later.:shock:

[QUOTE=Dean Romig;185692]Nice little mortar you have there Dave - have you fired it?
Yeah, it's black powder of course. It has a 2 1/4" bore. I found that a racquet ball is a perfect size projectile for proper windage. It has a powder chamber 7/8" diameter by 1" long. That much powder will launch the ball about 200 yards, ignited by fuse.

Henry: Thanks I really like Illinois River decoys and have concentrated on Bert Graves. I do have a few Delaware River and coastal NJ birds (both places I hunted ducks as a young man). I am lucky my wife loves the decoys and we display them in the main living area of the house. However, she gets equal wall space for her flow blue china collection. Happy wife, happy life!

FRANK HALSEY

I had a Shiloh Sharps in a very large 50/140. You want to talk about a kick. I had a guy beg me to shot it and I warned him about the way the gun jump up when the 725 gr. bullet leave. "no problem" was his reply. The rest of the day, he walked around with a black eye. It was not too hard on the shoulder but boy does it jump at the muzzle. It also was not cheap to shoot. Back about 15 years ago, I bought 2 boxes of ammo for it and was glad to get them. They were $125 per 20 rounds. Frank
Rich Anderson
01-18-2016, 02:33 PM
Now that the Martha Stewart portion of our tour is over here is where the real work of load development, ammo manufacture, storage and just general overall gun stuff goes. And yes it pretty much always looks like this.

Boy those last two pic's looks a lot like my loading room except I keep the bullets,cases,and powder in another room which also happens to look like a mess. I load for all my sharps. Buying black powder ammunition is royally expensive. I had also owned a 45/120 and I am happy to report that someone else owns it now. The 50/90 is all I care for.

Wayne I load for everything. 12,16,20,28,7410 for shotguns. The hulls and wads are kept in the shed they just take up more space than I have. Center fire goes from 22 Hornet to a 450-400 Nitro express. Factory ammo for the 450-400 is $7/round:eek:

Rich Anderson
01-19-2016, 01:14 PM
It's funny you mention that. He's probably been recycled back into the bush. The original plan was to hunt a Lioness and if successful I was going to mount her life size stalking a native. The native would of course be a mannequin but he was to be in the position of taking care of business:rolleyes: There wasn't enough left of the poachers dog to do anything with but the night shift of the bush cleaned him up.
