Some Father's Day black powder fun....

Just 6 rounds today on a 50 yd target. No wind, ideal conditions. That sure makes a difference.

Frontier .50 caliber long rifle
50 grains Triple 7 powder
.490 Speer lead ball
.015 patch

50 yds off hand....man I love shooting this rifle.

If I could shoot like that, I'd love that rifle, too.

[RanchRoper]

Oh we've all seen you shoot....your avatar speaks volumes.

But thank you!

[North Country Gal]

Thanks, but with that long 40" barrel, the front sight would be too small for me to see without binoculars.

Nice shootin Keith. I wish I could even shoot half that good.

[RanchRoper]

Thanks buddy. Like I said, ideal conditions sure helps.

Great job. Wish I still had the eyes for that kind of shooting!

Agree Jake. And, I believe RR KNOWS that rifle/load. Excellent shooting RR.
