Still makin' smoke...
No targets to show, ringing steel gongs pretty much all the time now. The range has steel at 25/50/75/100/125/150 yards. Was hitting some steel plates at the 125 yd distance today, pretty happy with that. Practice for the July long weekend rendezvous match.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Still makin' smoke...
Yeah, still tempted to join in the fun, but I have too many guns to shoot as it is, plus sourcing actual black powder, caps and such is a real headache in our area.

Re: Still makin' smoke...
You can buy caps on line at several places but like everything else the price of them has tripled. Rocks are cheaper by a long shot. Go flintlock and your troubles are over.

Re: Still makin' smoke...
I try to alternate each time I shoot; caps one time, flint the next.

Re: Still makin' smoke...
I have the same "issue" as you NCG. Too many deserving shootables to start something new. I would go with a flintlock if I did get one. Not in the cards at this moment.North Country Gal wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2024 12:57 pmYeah, still tempted to join in the fun, but I have too many guns to shoot as it is, plus sourcing actual black powder, caps and such is a real headache in our area.

Re: Still makin' smoke...
Might as well keep this thread alive. I went out today with a younger man I met a couple years ago. He has an interest in BP also and is currently building a Kibler Woodsrunner kit. He has quite a few Hawkens and Lemans in various calibers. He also hunts with them and has take deer,antelope and Im not sure about an elk but next time I see him I will ask. He is a Lieutenant for the Greeley Fire Dept and is a very good you man. We shot BP today at some steel and I shot the Woodsrunner again today. I shot quite a bit better today than last time out. Ill try to get some pics next time out. It was a fun day makin smoke
