Windy at times today, had to pick my moments. Temperature 28F. Cold hands and my trigger finger missing the first joint has no circulation at all in cold weather. Cowboy up...

50 yard work with my Henry 1860 in 45 Colt. Shooting 50 rounds of 200 gr 6.6 gn of Universal. Open sights, shooting from 1 knee.

It's still a punchy little round but I was a little worried about the bullets wandering around with the wind but as I said, pick the moment and shoot. It's a crap shoot with the wind some days. Pun intended.

12 rounds on each of 4 targets except last one one has 14 rounds on it. I change targets because some I shoot better than others....go figure. The one with 4 targets on it usually gives me grief. Not so much today.

That is some very fine shooting sir. You have certainly become a very good shot.
