My Frontier flintlock, .50 cal. Great day at the range, 85F and sunny. We are still pretty green here due to a wet spring, and the odd rain here and there since. Very lucky.
50 yds off hand, my little 6" steel plate....
Shoot safe....RR
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

More great shooting. We keep hearing about the drought and fires out west, so glad things are still green up there.

August can be a hot dry one, but so far the long range forecast doesn't look too bad.
