Man! I was just at Jamestown 2 weeks ago!!! I'd love to see the ships coming up the James River. Did they stop the Ferry for a bit?
I am doing some (Martini Henry) reloading for a Victorian Rifleman Provincial Shooting Competition coming up next month and decided to theme my shave in honor of the effort.

I didn't get to see the Godspeed or the other two smaller craft as they came up river but I would have loved to.

Where is the shooting competition. I'd love to see that.

Thank you Robert! I almost fainted when I saw Rodney had made a brush like this one, lol.

I'm very happy to finally put a face to your name, my friend (and I'll never be embarrased for you)!

I've never participated in the event before. This one is kind of special It will take place in Pennsylvania near Easton I think. National Geographic is doing a story on antique weapons, collectors and shooters and I'll be there for the filming. Maybe I'll get on TV. There is a business up there that purchsed the entire arsenal of ancient weapons (From the 1700's-WWII) from the Royal Palace in Nepal. It was a HUGE load of stuff and they have it in several warehouses. The company (International Military Intiques Military Antiques, Military Collectibles and Militaria IMA-USA.COM) sells untouched muskets and rifles for collectors. I have 3 so far. They are letting us "plunder" their warehouse after the event so I'm sure I'll pick up one or two more!
