Pine Ridge Muzzleloader Fall Shoot 2021
I did pretty well in the Pine Ridge Muzzleloader shoot this fall in Huntsville, Missouri. There was about 30-ish shooters. I came in 2nd place in the smoothbore competition. They had 14 camps set up this time. Even had some people come in just to shoot. This is a small shoot compared to the one they host in the spring time!
HF in Colorado
We camped a few days around Granite, Colorado. During our stay there we explored the Stone Cabin that was near by. Furthermore the Arkansas River was within walking distance.

Our campsite the 2nd night. Beautiful area!!!
