Wow! Good shooting.
The only way I could get a target like that would be to put peanut butter on the center and let a mouse eat it.

One other key point you didnt address in your philosophy is something I said along time ago. I admire the fact that you dont have many guns. And what you do have is all the same caliber. We all know each gun is different. Trying to remember where a dozen different guns shoot isnt something I can do. But one or two and shoot them often you are bound to be a better shot. Beware of the man who owns only one gun because he will know how to shoot it. I wish I would of had the restraint you have had through the years. My hats off to you for being able to do that.

I think it would stress me out to have a bunch of guns I couldn't get time to shoot much. Think I'm at my limit now, if I add another it will be a flintlock. But that's about it.

Flintlock would be nice to have with no need to hunt for caps/primers! When is it coming RR?

The only issue is real BP is not easy to get. Many hours driving. Triple 7 will work in barrel but need 4f BP for the pan.

If I do go flintlock it would be later this year. Actually the model I have would be cool in flintlock version.

But if I can shoots caps until I am 85 think I’m doing well.
