Springtime in Alberta

Post by RanchRoper » Sat Apr 24, 2021 6:50 pm

27F and spring is here! Off to the range with my Frontier .50 cal. 50 grains of Triple 7, .490 ball with .015 patch. No wind at all! Nice!!! Quite enjoyed myself. No idea why pics post sideways. :?

50 yds off hand, those little guys are a challenge!

Great shooting! How many shots fired at each 50 yd. target or was it just one big .50 cal hole?

Nice shootin'. Doubt that I'd do anywhere near as well shooting off hand. Congrats!

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.......

Brrrrrr, makes my bones ache just looking at your picture.

Nice shooting and despite the snow that’s a great pic. Feel like it takes us back 150 years other than the fingerless gloves and stocking cap.
