Wow, that's a heck of a shot.
Tell me about your sights, and how did you adjust, or where did you hold to make that hit?
And doing that in crazy cold conditions, great job!

Primitive fixed open sights on my flintlock.

My rifle shoot’s dead on for windage in calm conditions so just put the target behind the front blade instead of on top. Not real scientific, just have to know your rifle. I shoot a lot.

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.......

No I still have it. I'll likely hang on to it for a bit, trying to get my son into black powder.
