Some old Goex Stuff

[JWFilips]

I had Success....Found the other stuff on an archive disc

OK first off; this one was going to be directed to the Re-enacting community to keep them shooting GOEX! ( You have to remember back in the 90's there was a push to Elephant Black Powder! Yeah it was horrible stuff but cheap at the expense of burning the rain forrest wood! under powdered &
Dirty) Sorry but the head line wasn't written ( again all my equipment)


Then their thoughts went to the Re-enactor Artillery Units! .....Well I only owned sub artillery but "Ginger" my 1/2 PDR swivel gun used Goex Cannon powder! So I did this photo for their AD


Thanks for looking ...I hope you enjoy
I'm just going through this old man's memorobilia....if you like, it it will bring a smile to my face!
Thanks guys
Jim

Those photos have a warmth about them that evokes an emotional response, which an artist friend of mine says is the goal of art. You have succeeded, those are beautiful, from the layouts, to the item selections, to the photographic techniques, all done very, very well. Thanks for sharing!

Again Thank you all:
When I got out of high school ...I was crazy...I had a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania for Physics ( my field "Theoretical Phys")
My Guidance counselers told me not to take time off but I didn't listen....Took the first year after HS Graduation off ..Got A motorcycle, got a job & got a girl! Life was good !
Then I started thinking Physics Well; a Phd. is really necessary in that field & then you have to wait for some old dude to die to get a position. Art was my second love and I guess it won out...never regretted it! Both pay poorly!

That is great Jim.
I still have some Goex in the old cans. Must be 25-30 years old? I haven’t shot black in well over a decade.

When I was Re enacting Rev War (1992 to 2013) I shot about 3000 rounds per year ( mostly at the British!)
Haven't shot BP since!
