Well, folks, we had a real good time in Amissville despite the cold and wind! We had lots of old friends show up and some new faces as well. The venue is interesting with undulating hills to create a few easily separated areas which we took full advantage of for parking, C-line and show areas. We also have an excellent barn there with space enough to hold training classes, big meals and an all-hands meeting if we wanted. And our host, Marshall Barron, set up signs to make sure people found their way in, and down to the parking areas. He also had a tractor, with a trailer and 300 hundred gallons of water waiting for us! I tell you, that guy knows how to prep for visitors.

I lost a lot of time waiting for the wind to die down, so I did not get to do all I planned. What I finally ended up with was pretty good granulated black powder. With commercial Goex black powder as a reference which shot a baseball into the air for 6.9 seconds; my powder, same charge, shot a baseball into the air for 7.8 seconds. Not bad consi…

It was a good day even with a little chill but hey it is still March. As far as the food goes it was my pleasure, cooking is something I enjoy doing. I ended up with a lot of dill relish and carmelized onions from those leftovers. See you all in April.
Was an awesome first shoot of the season! Great seeing all the familiar faces & new faces. Food was delicious, thank you Kevin! Can't wait for the next one we can attend!
