50 yards with Flintlock

Post by RanchRoper » Sun Sep 24, 2023 3:10 pm

Made some smoke this morning. Mostly steel targets but did a little paper shooting just for fun.
50 yds on a 3” target
50 grains Goex 3f
.480 ball

Couple of flyers but not too bad for fixed iron sights and 66 year old eyes.

Pedersoli Frontier .50 cal

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.......
