October 2008 Vol. 16 No 1
Secretary's Scribblin's
The year is coming to a close fast. I am still
not sure were the year has gone. I hope every one has had a good year, with lots
of fun
Rendezvous.
We had a work party at Fort Churchill on the 13th
of Sept. Four people showed up; Matt, John, Pat, and Jolee. We cleared willows
around a bridge and remarked a walking trail. Jolee became a member of the black
foot tribe, she climbed down to the river bed, it was a mud pit, to get rocks
and cut willows.
We will be in the Nevada day parade again this
year, the parade is on November 1 start time 10am, as soon as we have the line
up information it will be passed along. The October meeting has been moved to
the 11th after the club shoot. Our fall Rendezvous is Sept 26-28.

Venison
Appetizers
Take one or two Venison ham steaks frozen, trim ALL fat and scrape with the flat of a knife. Cut into 1” cubes, wrap with 1/3 slice bacon, and pin through with a toothpick. Broil until bacon is almost done then turn over and do other side.
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
