Iowa Muster: anybody heard?

[Drydock]

Really wanted to go, could not get away.  How did it go?

I believe it went pretty well. Three new shooters, but we lost two from last year due to illness. Still a gain of one. Everyone seemed to enjoy the stages (well maybe not the one fired prone). Several really got into the bayonet drill. We had a couple of visitors who showed interest in getting involved. I want to thank Col. Dusty Tagalong for all his help, he tabulated all the scores, helped with targets, and was johnny on the spot when anything needed doing. I'd also like to thank Dutch Henry and Southpaw for all thier help. Now to the winners.                                                                                                                                                                                            Infantry-- Dusty Tagalong      Forager Scout-- Baaad Phil             Single Shot-- Dunreath Slocum             Mil-Spec Repeater--  Shalako Al        Scout--  M.L. Roak                          Again, Thanks to everyone who helped and to everyone who came out and shot with us. See ya'll in Oct. Al.  P.S. Almost forgot, 8 shooters - 4 in uniform.

Bayonet drills? Now that's something I hadn't considered.....Don't have a correct bayonet, just the long '03 model. That would really give some reach on the longer barrel of the krag.

Bayonet & rifle were provided.
