I would vote for a framed wall hanging, too, although with your consistent shooting you'll quickly run out of wall space. I'd say that one "leftie" POI was caused by a burst of wind at 50 yards, which you had no way to know it was coming. ;)

Cool that you've found that crescent butt stock, sans cover, works so well for you. Great-looking stock 1860 Henry.

innovative targeting --- nicely fired .... any comments as to, deliberate differences other than those directly related to firing a rifle and revolver .... example breathing and rate of fire :?:

As always, I shoot my best when I just shoot. If I hesitate to second guess myself it never generates the best result.

Just shoot.

all too well understood and I agree .... when I start thinking about things, I tend to over complicate them
