Thanks, Jim, but ol' Rex got the drop on ya. He wrote me back at the
double quick. Good to hear from ya anyways. I've been quiet on the fur
trade list, but I rondy'd on Labor Day weekend up on the Canadian River
here in the TX Panhandle. I ate well, threw the hawk ok, but didn't shoot
worth a darn. Oh, well.
The back-to-back thunderstorms friday night seemed to put it all into
perspective. There's things at work in this world much bigger than you and
I, and that's for sure.
BTW, I got my Bess .75 cal bag mold. Log Cabin Shop has them for 59.95
plus freight. :-) Their new catalog has lots of plunder I hadn't seen
before. Give Oz a call at the Cabin for your copy.
Cheers to all,
HBC

<BR>When shooting a bow instinctive (without sights) being left eye dominate and shooting right handed. I found to be a real challenge that I never really over came to my satisfaction, granted I was able to make meet with a bow but it really limited my shooting ability. For in stead of just having to know how far up or down I had to hold my point of aim for certain yardage I had to all so hold off to one side for the drift that seemed to happen too. To tell you the truth I got so flustered with it I quit shooting the bow. My best advice is to shoot left handed or do lots and lots of shooting to learn how to hold your point of aim to make up for it.
<BR>see ya down the trail

Hog fat greased pages from a Bible work. Just be sure it is a natural
fiber paper as used during the period.
Other book's pages would work I suppose.
But, this gives a whole other meaning to "introducing heathens to the word
of the Lord."
Spread the word.

Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without.

I'm doing research on an article for a major blackpowder publication. If anyone has any info about research documents concerning black powder firearms used by hay's rangers, or by the mexican citizens in Texas in the 1840s, I would appreciate it. I'm particularly interested in the kinds of long guns used by both the texans and the Mexicans. M. Branson
