We have two instructors for the 2012 Longrifle Building Class:
Troy L. Roope owner and operator of Stonewall Creek Outfitters, was born and raised in Stonewall, Virginia. He has been building rifles and shooting competitively with these rifles since 1994. He enjoys crafting his rifles the old fashion way, building with traditional hand tools and only machining certain parts when necessary. Some of Troy’s mentors include Jim Hash of Appomattox, Virginia and the Gunsmiths of Colonial Williamsburg.
Jimmy Blanks has spent his entire life and professional career as a sportsman and outdoorsman. After retiring from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, Jimmy turned his attention to his passion of Flintlock Rifle Building and quickly earned himself recognition as an extremely knowledgeable and skilled craftsman. His knowledge of the intricacies and history of Flintlock Rifles as well as his “surgeon like” attention to detail relating to rifle construction is second to none.
