He was the instigator, sharpsguy and Crossfireoops were the guys that put BP into my veins.
Lets just say I'm addicted now.

All I know is stay away from ET. He'll get you hooked. Be sure to invite Gunner500 and the knife maker down. Bet they can help on proper loads.
Thanks, Gordon. I'm going over to sharpsguy's house tomorrow and bug him.
I think we ought to have a BPCR shoot (short range of course, 400 yards & less) here.

Thanks, Patrick! I'll let you shoot it if you would like. Maybe twice.
Any idea when yours will be ready?

Gorgeous. One of these days. Maybe. Need to launch a few downrange and then think about it. Congrats, Ed!
I'm not an impulse buyer. Never have been. Three times in my life I have tried something and was immediately hooked. The second was white water rafting in a cataraft, the third time was shooting crossfireoops' Sharps. The first time was in my parent's basement when I was a teenager...
What I'm getting at, Leighton, is once you pull the trigger on one of these, there is no going back.

Sounds like a deal. Of course I don't have one so I'll watch.
B.S. You'll shoot mine and like it.

Very nice and fine wood to boot..congrats and enjoy!
Thanks, Woody. The pictures don't do justice to the figure in the wood. I need to get my oldest son, the professional photographer out here to do her up right. This is "semi-fancy" wood. I can only imagine what "fancy" with a buffed out finish looks like.
Thanks. If we have this shoot, you need to come down and join in. I've been wanting to shake your hand for a while now and this is a good excuse.

Late to the thread, but that is a very, very nice piece! Would like to handle and admire it--another reason you should be at Quemado.
Wish I could, Ben, but work demands that I be at a training conference in deep south Texas at 8:00 AM the Monday morning after the Quemado gathering. I'm pretty good at long distance driving, but that just won't be possible.
I don't see myself getting rid of this beauty any time soon, so I imagine you will have a chance to shoot her, too.

The first two make sense. What exactly was it about mucking out the sump pump in the cellar that made you instantly fall in love with it? Wait, I don't want to know.
Ole Brent got me interested in those old war horses about 15 years back. He knocked over eland, zebra and a few others with one, and the big old holes (two per critter, in and out) that his made on everything he put one of those big ass hunks of lead to made me *really* interested in acquiring one. Er, checking one out I mean...
Between him, ET, Woody and now you, I figure I'm done for already. Damn the lot of you.

...looking forward to spotting for you, you handle this particular style of arm better than most, and catch on fairly fast.
Congrats, on procuring what I call a "contemporary heirloom". ...long may the two of you run !
