100 yd Flintlock Shootin’
Been awhile since I posted a report. Shoot mostly steel these days. But this morning trying to dial in at 100 yds better. Tend to pull right often. This is an 8” target. Making corrections as I go.

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.......

Ya that’s all me, nothing wrong with the rifle. I shoot the caplock better than the flinter.

Re: 100 yd Flintlock Shootin’
Makes two of us. Im alot better with the capper but at 100 yards Id still be lucky to do that good. I havent even sent a ball down range yet this year. Ive been shooting more pistols and 22LR lately. The weather here with as wet as it has been has really messed up shooting much. I hope to change the roundball shooting though in Aug and Sept.

That's good shooting with a flintlock. I like my flintlocks and used to shoot them all the time but haven't had one out in over 2 years now. The old heart just doesn't work like it use to.

If I nailed that target to a tree and tried to hit it at 100 there would be a good pile of splinters and a fresh target for another day!
Great shootin' RR !
