2012 NMLRA Winter Shoot, Cairo, Nebraska

[Plainsman]

Went to my first muzzleloader shoot this weekend Held at the Red White And Blue range near Cairo, Nebraska. Camped friday and saturday night. Go tdown to -8 on Friday night, but stayed nice and warm in my canvas tent with my home made stove.

I had a blast and met some really cool guys. Hell I even played cards all night with Don Strinz of Strinz Tipi! He's one hell of a character!

I shot pretty good for my first time shooting my .50 Hawken, and even joined the club. So now I can go out there anytime I wish!

Great pics,,, is that a "widow-maker" hanging over the far end of the firing line in picture #4???  looks like a good time to be shooting,,,   

[Plainsman]

Yes it is Moby. But it's in the middle of the firing line, not really that big of a branch. And we made sure no one was firing near there.

That last picture looks like you learned a little about throwing a tomahawk.    Time for a new handle.
The important thing is that you had a good time!

I just came across this post and wanted to say that your in good company with those hairy legged pea pickers out at the NMLRA! ... I was a member of that club for many years and Donnie Strinz and I have been good friends for near forty years now!

Have fun,
Rick
