Ships Log: September 9th, 11th, 16th and 18th.
Some of our crew desided to head over to Andover Massachusetts to take the NRA Black Powder Certificaion class. Myself, Greylocke, Tazzy the Pansy Pirate, Sam Handwich, Anni Geturguns McDraggon, Celfig Mclden and Daithi Dubh. We spent 4 evenings listening, learning and reviewing Black Powder safety. We also learned a bit about Mass firearm laws. We all graduated with a patch and a certificate.

Our three instructor's, Bob, Jim and Doc made the class fun and highly informative. Alot of stuff we already practice, but there were a few things we can pass on to our other ship mates that do Black Powder firearms with us in our demostration to make them more safe.

We want to thank the instructors for making us feel like an big part of the class. The class was mostly designed for the mussle loading hunter. They try to keep it with traditional firearms like flintslock and caplock firearms. Todays modern hunter uses and inline rifle. As we found out traditional Black Powder firearms are becoming a dieing art. So we have desided to keep this tradition up as long as we can by bringng it to our faires and introducing everyone to the beauity and history of these fine firearms.

Once again than you Bob, Jim and Doc for making us more safe firearm owners.
Our next adventure coming up is Connecticut Renassaince Faire.
