Frontier Flintlock

Post by RanchRoper » Sun Mar 26, 2023 7:53 pm

Winter still, but not too cold. My Frontier flintlock at 100 yds off hand. Out of 7 shots I dinged a few off the 8" steel. Not my best outing but made lots of smoke so all good!

100 yards offhand with a flintlock, that's incredible shooting

Thanks I would liked to put them all on the steel but some days you can and some days you can't... :)

As always, good shooting. I would probably do good just to hold it to my shoulder.

It is a long rifle in the truest sense. The longer you take to aim the wobblier it gets!
