Ramblings of a bored mind.

  Ever think about sayings that came from the muzzleloading era that are still in use.Fer instance " A flash in the pan" or "Lock,stock and barrel".How bout "Dont go off half cocked"? Any more ya'll can think of? Whew maybe i need another hobby.

"He Shot his Wad". In the heat of battle during reloading,you to forget to drop a ball down the barrel.

As i think about it.
Putting a bead on someone
"Dropping the Hammer"?
" Putin the Hammer down"?
Calling someone a"Ram Rod"
