Shooting Buddy

I live in Phoenix's East Valley (Mesa) and I'm a black powder cartridge shooter/enthusiast. I'm looking for a shooting buddy, probably who's retired like me so we can get together and shoot on weekdays. I'm getting a little old (73) and have some disabilities so CAS is out and I don't like what it's turned into anyway. And black powder cartridge silhouette is beyond me. If I got down into prone or even setting for the longer distances I'd need several guys to get me back up (LOL).

I shoot single shot rifles from cross-sticks and lever action rifles, all with black powder. I shoot a lot of 45 Colt black powder rounds and recently got back to playing with black powder in a 12ga double hammer shotgun.

Anyone on this board from this area, who would like to get together and plan burning some BP in cartridges, either at Rio Salado or out in the desert once the fire restrictions are lifted, send me a PM and we can trade e-mails or phone numbers.

Kind of sad that none of the BP cartridge shooters in my area have responded to this. Well, can't say I didn't try.

Well keep me in mind John. If you should happen to get some time off during the week, and the fire restrictions are lifted, maybe we could go out to the desert a bust some rocks shooting BPC.
