Flintlock fun!

Post by RanchRoper » Sun Jun 12, 2022 5:28 pm

Ringing steel at 50 yds off hand with my Frontier flintlock.

50 grains Goex 2fg in barrel & pan. 8" steel plate, and it sure goes PING when I hit it!

Great fun! Turned 65 yesterday, canoeing all afternoon and shooting black powder today....life is good :D

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.......

Happy shootin' and Birthday RR! Very nice area where you enjoy life. Too hot for me to go down to the range this week and with price of gas I just pick the best day to go. Can't paddle my canoe down my creek since it is just puddles right now due do lack of rain lately!
