Copper Cup Classic 2013

 

Good Weather and Good Shooting at this years Copper Cup Classic

 

 

The BHC Trekked to Pennsylvania this year for the Eastern Primitive Rendezvous.

The rain held off till camp was up so no complaints for rain on Saturday . A good day to visit and relax.

Captain Rob

would decide the matches for the Copper Cup again this year so he chose the rifle match ,which would be a paper target with many small animals . The smaller the animal the more points . Pretty interesting seeing how others decide to shoot the match and whether or not you made the right decision would be determined when the scores were announced !!!

The second part of the match would be the smoothbore woods walk . It looked pretty basic but would choose to be a challenging match as well.

 

We always welcome the JCrew to play with us and once again they showed how well they shoot.

The places are as follows.

 

First place LEE(By God West Virginia) HADDOX with a score of 58

Second place John(Bubba PuP)Suchora with a score of 57

Great shooting as well

Fourteenth was the big winner of the day

Christie(Warrior Woman) Suchora

takes the "Blanket" Prize and showed everyone that even though she usually wins she knows how to be graceful when you aren't number one . Class act Christie but I think we are all in trouble next year !!

 

Always always a wonderful week full of friendship and as much shooting as we can muster.

 

It is coming near winter so hunting has started and gardens are pretty well done.Looking forward to next years Copper Cup and being with my friends once again.

Till then .....

Keep On Trekking

QUEEN Anns Lace dye

I gathered a full grocery sack of queen anns lace flowers.Simmered them in a canner for about 3 hours with rain water.Added 3 tabelspoons of alum and added wet material to achieve the yellow.The green is over dyed in Saxon Blue.

Cabbage sausage soup

The Sausage Cabbage soup recipe
I just made it up as I went but here goes.
I used about half a head of cabbage ,one medium onion,about 2 lbs Italian sausage ,5 beef bullion cubes , 3 or 4 potatoes. I Might add green peppers today. I browned the sausage in a separate pan and chopped everything else up pretty coarse. Added the veggies with just enough water to barely cover as the cabbage cooks down... to make more water. Added the sausage and season salt and pepper.cooked on medium to simmer till tender. Doesn't take very long.this made about 4 or 5 quarts. In the past I have added corn and beans from the garden. You could probably add tomatoes.
I opened a jar to taste it today and it even passed the picky eater Frank taste test.I processed it in the pressure canner the same as for meat.15 lbs for 90 minutes for quarts.This soup is good enough to open a quart at a time.Happy canning !!!!!!!

Had an exciting day.The men woke us up with the supplies to build the cabin at 6:00 am.It had rained all Sunday and it was really wet.Well when they tried to pull down to the site the trailer slid over the bank.Anyway with the help of Meryl and his tractor and after we unloaded half of the trailer they got it out.Then Frank and I and Chris reloaded the materials onto our trailer and took it on down to the site.Even with the delay they were done by 3:30.We are tired tonight and still had to clean the office.
