FC Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 We have 20-something year old Dutch friends who are here to visit. They are engaged. She wanted to shoot too. They had a really good time shooting flintlock rifle, percussion musket, cap and ball, bolt actions, pistols, Peacemakers, lever action, SKS, and K-31. I was so busy keeping guns loaded that I didn't take pictures. If they send me any pictures I'll post them. I've been off this week, and have been cooking like mad for a week. Oh, and a college boy interested in my youngest daughter came to visit from Omaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Cool. Tell them Dr.Hess says "Goede Dag." I almost bought a Dutch Mauser in 8mm at the gun show. I saw two of them. It was real tempting, but they were both short carbines, very light weight and I thought they would probably about take my shoulder off to shoot.

AzRednek Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Did your visitors offer to help clean all the smoke poles?? If not sounds like you have your work cut out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted December 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 They picked up the plastic containers filled with water, but little ol' me gets to clean upwards 20 guns. No fun cleaning black powder! Dr. Hess, will do. Both of them are over 6 ft. tall. They had a good time, and started picking up on how to shoot. Yvonne liked the Peacemaker clones best, and Wouter liked the Winchester 92 in .30-30 and SKS best. My daughter's boyfriend liked the Peter Berry flintlock.

karlunity Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 It beats the heck out of going for a round of golf sir. karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted December 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 I don't get the golf thing. It took a good chunk of the day to clean guns. I did get a Grizzly 15 inch planer today with spiral heads. Might save what little is left of my hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
