Wow, I got some new toys today... a 70 caliber black powder field
cannon,

I have one of those - I cleaned it up and we use it as a display
piece. I have a beat up one that I should fire one of these days. I
don't think I ever got around to firing one of them.


and a 45 caliber black powder musket... beautiful looking, and
haven't tested the functionality as of yet, but I cant wait!


BP is fun!

Lady Kate; Did you fire the AR-10 yet? That is supposedly a
beautifully performing rifle... let us know how it works.


Nope.. not in an outdoors range anyway. All of our sites are snowed
in. We took it to our indoor range (commercial) and I ran 30 rounds
through it - cleaning after each round - to break in the barrel. It
runs very smoothly - much like an AR-15 only a bit heavier.

Rockets will be launched on New Year's Eve!
