I bet Donnie hopes he does, it will relieve some of the pressure off him.

Welcome aboard young man.

My striker won't be able to be here that weekend. He'll still be off playing army for real. He starts NG basic next week.

[Charles Isaac]

Well He's got a Krag so he must be one of the good ones. Welcome Moose!

[Drydock]

Can always use another Kraggie!  Recruits are for field duty as of now!

I do not believe this cadet will be able to attend the muster the same week he is scheduled to be a costumed interpreter at the local 1890s living history farm. He has to be 14 to do it and he had been chomping at the bit to get to work there.  He turns 14 on the 3rd of July. The muster is just after that and he plans on spening as much time as he can at the farm.

Here is some video of the cadet shooting at the Illinois muster.

Doug:  Would you PM or email me details on the 1890's Farm?

Thanks,

Thanks, we may try to visit this summer.

Let me know. We can meet you there. We love the farm. My wife carries brochures for it in her purse wherever she goes to spead the word about it.

How does that Krag shoot??

[G.W. Strong]

My Krag shoots great. It is not fussy with bullet diameter or powder loads. I presently use a 309 bullet but I have tried it with equal results with 310, and 312 with no discernable difference in accuracy.
