We dined on mustard chops with mashed potatoes and venison stew, Waugh! A few shots were fired with hawken rifles and fires were started the old-fashioned way, we all stayed warm dispite the cold temps, and spirits were high, some music was played and stories were told.

Thanks to all for making both the shoots a success.
REMINDER: You MUST be a member of the Fort Lupton Muzzle Loading Club to use the range. This is very important for insurance coverage. Non FLMLC members are not insured and can only shoot at sanctioned events. January Shoot Results It was a great day to shoot with the sun out and the wind fairly calm most of the morning. Thank to all those that showed up. Jack Cutshall hosted the shoot and in addition to the club targets, we had an X @ 50 yards, a bow tie and single bull @ 25 yards. Six people attended and were Duane Jones, Jerry Farringer, John Callor, Rick Wicks, Jack Cutshall and Ron Saner. Ron Saner will host the February shoot.

Fine shooting from all. The Fun Shoot or as we called it the Frozen Tush shoot was only Ted Nelson, Alan Heath, John-Rick & Roni Callor showed up for breakfast and shot a few rounds to try out some new targets. We did not stay very long! A few items to discuss that have been mentioned in the past. This was prompted by a situation on Sunday January 16th.
q The range is open to FLMLC members and their guests only. If you are not a member of FLMLC you can not shoot at the range. q NO hunting loads for casual shooting. Target loads only. That means no more than 1 ½ times powder than caliber ball size. Hunting loads are only permitted at a formal site-in when we schedule them. q NO sabot, bullets, mini balls or plastic patches of any kind.
These are in addition to the FLMLC range rules that have not changed from the TRT range rules. Anyone caught shooting on the range in the future and not obeying the rules could loose the ability to shoot on the range. Any questions about range usage or joining the FLMLC please ask John Callor, Bill Lang or Bill Crowley or any other member. We have had few problems in the past and we intend to keep it that way. John Callor TRT Range Officer FLMLC President TRAPPER CRAFTERS The next Trapper Crafters meeting will be held January 22, 2004 at 2PM at Garry & Nancy Dawdys house (call for directions); a potluck will follow the meeting.
