They're about ready to get down to some serious shooting though the shredded appearance of the bullseye might convince you they already had. Hal takes aim again. It rips through somewhere in the black and he comes out somewhere in the middle on his score for the day but still winning a day of relaxation and fun. Like his middle position among . the shooters so might one, at first glance, view the life of this mustached young man. But among the ordinary events of his daily routine, he is weaving an extra-ordinar- y life tapestry rich and colorful made up of his many unusual interests and the interesting person he is. A tapestry of the kind Davy Crockett or Abe Lincoln might have woven the kind that proves there is no such thing as common. By LINDA HAKKIS Wind-churne- d dust wasn't what was causing the haze across the ' face of the mountain this October Saturday. Nor was it because blue was sharing the sky with white or gray or any other cloud-color- . It was the smoke of rifle powder just set ablaze that caused the brilliant oranges and reds of' the mountainside to blur out of focus, ' then back in as it lifted. The morning began by about 10 o'clock. Members of the Musket- - Loaders' Club had converged on the rifle range for some fun, relaxation and monthly shooting practice with their hand-mad- e rifles. It would be one of their last opportunities at practice before the muzzleloaders' hunt in November. Trucks were lined up with their beds to the targets as their owners leaned back leisurely against them awaiting their turn to shoot. At one end stood a rather seedy-lookin- g gentleman wearing a hat that shaped its own character by the form it took. And its owner, Ken Anderson, had a particular shape to his character, too, if only the gtory were known. The Payson gentleman leaned on his musket made from scratch. He'd been a member of the first nationally chartered muzzle-loader- s club in the state ever since its organization 23 years back. On down the line somewhere in the middle another younger man was setting up for his turn at the oullseye. Grabbing the powder horn in one hand he raised it to his ear and shook down the powder to the measured amount listening all the while for the right sound. His name is Hal Millett, a member of the club since 1978. Having the full measure of powder in the bottom of the horn he then tipped it to the barrel and the granules slid down to within a spark of the percussion hammer. Next he picked up one of his homemade lead maxi-ball-grabbed a quarter-siz-e cloth patch and stuck it in his mouth to prime it with saliva, then wrapped it snugly around the ball. He poked the vail down the barrell with his wooden ball starter, then grabbed the ram rod and rammed it the rest of the way down tight against the: powder. . If you were to read Hal's vitae you would not see anything so different or . the faets could be borrowed by many others. It's between the lines where you begin to get an idea of his own personal character. In the middle of his life yet, Hal is already stacking up experiences and traits that weave an interesting cloth even while still on the loom such things as being one of the muzzle loaders. Hal grew up in Lindon. Now as he looks down the long site of his handmade .50 calibre Thompson Center (a replica of an 1820s Hawkin rifle) he tells how he "sort : of graduated from Pleasant Grove High. He had received permission to go to trade tech his senior year. "But the counselor didn't plan right," he says. When the year was over, he was short one credit. "They gave me my diploma but told me it wasn't any good," said Hal. He continued at trade tech for 2 years and graduated in auto mechanics. ; He got his first job at Bob Sutch's American Station in Pleasant Grove in 1973, then joined the National Guard. While in Fort Ord he had the assignment of maintenance mechanic and jeep driver. Coming back from basic training, he landed a job in another service station and stayed there six years, then went to work for a car dealership. ' But the strum of a guitar began to weave the thread of music through Hal's life long before he reached that job. His interest started at the impressionable age of 14. He listened to the music, bought books, and taught himself to play. He started playing with some friends just jam sessions with a electric, then a folk guitar. Today Hal can play out in intricate detail the accompaniment to a Willie Nelson tune or a Beatles' classic. Sitting back comfortably in his living room chair by the fireplace, his in hand, he strums and sings and "Norwegian ' Wood" or "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" sound easily like the original performance. The near silence is broken by a loud "boom." (Someone ought to do a study on the number of deaf muzzle loaders.) They know how well they've packed 'em down by the degree of vibration under their feet as they fire them off. By now the high score is 48x ('x' being the bullseye). Highest possible score is 55x. Pretty close, and Hal isn't too far down 44. It was while he was working for the car dealer that Hal became interested in muzzle loading. Two fellow workers, Mel Ferguson and Howard Jaquart, had been in the club several years. They talked to him about it, Howard showed him some old-tim- e guns and took him shooting. Hal's interest was sparked, he joined the club, and began to weave another interesting thread in his unique cloth. The club wasn't down to serious shooting yet by high noon. The atmosphere was kind of timeless and unhampered. Hal moved to Pleasant Grove just a couple of years ago but he still has ties in lindon, also. Besides his folks who live there, there are some fuzzy little flop-eare- d creatures residing in that city whom Hal sees quite frequently. They expect a visit from him once a day on his way to work as he stops to give them a day's supply of pellets. Some of them go by the name of Rex. Hal recently ventured into the auto mechanic business on his own. He and his brother, Steve, bought the old Wright's Garage in North Orem, gave the well-know- n landmark an overhaul, and now the bright building marks the site of Millett's Garage a place where two brothers guarantee satisfaction on all their work. The muzzle loaders go up to check their score after another five rounds. The group doesn't usually : . . v. UH " ..c:- w I . 1 , t 'umi' " V : - ,- -.1 ' -.. . - . - i .- -- i .
