April Match Shoot

Post by RanchRoper » Sun Apr 17, 2022 7:41 pm

A little online competition target with some friends: must shoot 25 yds off hand.

New Frontier flintlock, my 3rd outing. Maybe starting to get a little better comfort level, it's certainly a challenge. Not real happy with the target yet but at least on the 8x11 sheet of paper. Supposed to put 2 shots on each buffalo. No do-overs.

50 grains Schutzen 3fg
.490 ball
.010 bore butter lubed patch

Weather was ok, cold and clear.

Springtime! Get out and shoot!!

At 15° I’d be lucky to get it loaded.
Look forward to some more of your reports going forward with your new rifle.

Even though just for fun it does add a little pressure.

Ive seen RR targets in 60 mph wind. 15 deg should be no pressure at all.
