Irritating the posse with smoke

[Abilene]

It was really low humidity yesterday morning, which is unusual for here, so it kept the BP smoke from being as thick as I would have liked, but the breeze blew what there was back to the TO and spotters making them hack.  I like that.    .38 APP in rifle, BP in shotgun and pistols .38 and .44 Russian.

Good for you.  One of the reasons I gave up CAS back in the mid '90s was the complaints got worse and worse about my full power black powder loads.  Glad to see someone is reminding the bystanders a little of what a real gunfight would have looked and smelled like.

Yep! That black powder smoke does get to be a bit thick at times. Settles into my whiskers and onto my clothes so it comes home with me. Love every minute of it.

This is what I received as my bonafides for my Warthog Membership:

Well since I shoot .38's as well as 44's and 45's I never identified as a warthog, but I do enjoy watching them.  I always have everything ready to go the night before a match, and there have been times when I checked the weather in the morning and it is quite windy, so I pull out the smokeless ammo and take that.  No sense wasting all that smoke. 

[Bunk Stagnerg]

I am confused what else would you use to drive bullets but regular what Du Pont calls Gunpowder?
Did I miss something her?
Inquiring minds want to to know.

What really bothers some of them is when my WIFE blows smoke their way.  All kidding aside, at both clubs we shoot at most people appreciate the display. We are lucky to have several dedicated black powder shooters as regulars.

This was the Texas State Rifle Association championship match last weekend at Tejas Caballeros.  It seems that when I wear this outfit, the smoke likes to head to the camera.

People actually COMPLAINED about that?!  I thought that was sort of the point..........

[Coffinmaker]

  Aw Gimmie a BREAK!!

Was privileged, pleased, Tickle'd Pink to be able to shoot the Ohio State Black Powder Championship this past weekend.  Eight really fun stages on Saturday.  Absolutely NO smokeless allowed.  Boys, Girls, Ladies and Men, Black Powder ALL.

Was fabulous.  Not one gripe about Gun Smoke.  Gun Smoke ruled the day.  Capitol FUN you betcha!!

People are Still Contagious.  Avoid 'Em
