Shot the flintlock today at 100 yds off hand, no wind so got 'em on the paper at least. Gorgeous spring day!

Nice shooting, hard to imagine holding that “week long” barrel that steady. Nice you finally got some spring weather on your side of the Rockies.

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.......

Looks like you have that flintlock going well. They are a lot of fun. All I shot for over 30 years.
