Minutes of the November meeting
The November meeting was
called to order at 7:25 on November 4, 2005.
There was no treasurer’s report, however no money was spent or taken
in, so the balance remained the same. Minutes
of the October meeting were read and accepted as written.
John “Two Falls” Considine reported on the October shoot.
All went well. Pat Argyle won
and there was a 3-way tie for second.
The Nevada Day Parade was a success!
There were lots of good comments from spectators.
We had 11 participants in the parade and made lots of noise.
Nominations of officers were held. Results
can be found on page 1 of this newsletter. We
decided to have a potluck before the
Dec. 2 meeting. We will eat at 6
p.m. and commence the meeting about 7 p.m.
Lakes Crossing Muzzleloaders Holiday party will be 6 p.m.,
Jan. 14, 2005 at the home of the late John “Greybeard” Moeller.
His daughter, Moira, now resides there and has graciously offered the
home again for the annual get-together. All
Eagle Valley members are also invited to attend.
It is a potluck, so bring your favorite dish and your beverage of choice.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m.

The
November shoot was attended by John Considine, Jim Mozzini, Tony Bennett, Ken
Barr, Patrick, Roger Stephens, The

Venison
Appetizers

Some Muzzleloading Safety Do's and
Don'ts
DO’s
Read
and understand your instruction manual. If you didn't get one with your
muzzleloader, order one from the manufacturer. They will send you one for free.
Many companies now have a web site and online manuals are common.
Wear
shatterproof shooting glasses and ear protection, as both percussion and
flintlock guns may shower sparks and bits of caps/flints when fired.
Treat
a misfire or failure to fire as though the gun can fire at any second. Wait at
least a minute with gun pointed at the target.
Be
sure all spectators are completely behind you when firing. Flames and bits of
caps/flint sometimes exit from the side of the gun. It is good shooting
etiquette to warn other shooters that you are about to fire a flint lock next
to them.
DO
NOT
Never
fire a muzzleloader unless the ball is firmly seated against the powder charge.
Firing a muzzleloader with the ball off the powder or part way up the barrel
may cause serious damage to the firearm and possibly serious injury to the
shooter.
Do not
exceed manufacturer's recommended maximum powder charge.
Never
use FFFFg black powder for a charge in any
muzzleloader at any time. The only safe use for fine priming powder is for the
priming of a pan on a flint lock. Fine powders will cause excessive pressures
and could very well burst your barrel.
Never lean over (or stand in front of) the muzzle at
any time.
Never attempt to shoot out a projectile which
is not firmly seated against the powder charge
