Any hunters/shooters on the board?

Musta missed this thread the first time by. I shoot blackpowder and modern. Wife and I do Civil War skirmishing with the N-SSA (North-South Skirmish Association), shooting for fun and score using period weapons and reproductions, also we are both life members of the NRA. I am a member of SASS (Single Action Shooting Society) and have a ball playing cowboy, just a big kid at heart I guess. :smile:

Nether of us get to spend as much time at the range as we would really like but we do shoot as much as we can. In fact this coming weekend is the National Skirmish for the N-SSA and we, along with a couple thousand others, will be there...pouring powder, making smoke and getting filthy, great fun.

In my younger days I used to shoot at Bisley-competition up to 1200 yards with a .762 98 Mauser conversion, and earlier than that with the military-and whilst rare it was not unusual to see a kilt on the ranges.

Not a hunter-but a kilt works fine backpacking -off path in Norwegian woods-so should not be a problem.

Too hunting tartan-excellent camouflage.

So why not?

The local club is hosting a driven pheasant shoot this weekend. I volunteered my lab as a pick up dog. Think I'll go kilted.

I did get an invite to a woodcock hunt in Ireland for January, bad timing. I do hope the invite will be extended again.

Hey

Shameless promotion here......

I make kilts with a concealed carry pistol sleeve in them. And I have a pic or two of us at the Albany OR machine Gun shoot kilted firing tommy guns etc ......

It's a small world indeed.I spent an hour at the range today kilted and firing a WWII era thompson.

I wear my kilt to the shooting range all the time. It is the one place I know I can wear my kilt and not one person will say anything one way or another about it.

I gotta admit kilts and chicago typewriters are way cool!!!

My only problem on the range is that everyone keep asking when the pipers are going to start?

Showing up at the range with a big 50. will take care of any comments.

I love to shoot and have a nice little collection of milsurp rifles that is growing. Indeed, I need a new cabinet before I can bring any more home. Sadly, I was never really introduced to big game hunting and the couple of invites I have gotten over the years ended up not panning out when both times the guy inviting me had a change of plans. :-( So I guess until I can save up for a guided deer hunting trip to learn the ropes, Bambi is safe from me.

Still, I've got this fine Swiss K31 Schmidt-Rubin 7.5mm that I'm pretty sure has never harmed a living soul... it would be nice to take this one hunting sometime.

I mentioned in another thread that I just bought a vz24. A pre ww2 checkoslovokia made, romanian issued, 8mm mauser, that wasn't manufactured by mauser. From what I am told it is a good gun with a so-so trigger. I really want to fo out in the woods in the next couple of days and shoot it. When I got it I bought 100 rounds of 1940s military ammo that I intend to plink around with.

My dad has been hunting a couple of times this year and has got one ugly spike elk and one pretty black tail.
