27F and spring is here! Off to the range with my Frontier .50 cal. 50 grains of Triple 7, .490 ball with .015 patch. No wind at all! Nice!!! Quite enjoyed myself. No idea why pics post sideways.

50 yds off hand, those little guys are a challenge!


70 yds off hand



Just a quick report today, shoot safe, RR

spring indeed .... as hot as your shooting is, it will take a while warm things up

Nice shooting. But really spring? Brrrrr.

Typical in the mountains and foothills. We like moisture though....it's all good!

Great shooting! How many shots fired at each 50 yd. target or was it just one big .50 cal hole?

Nice shootin'. Doubt that I'd do anywhere near as well shooting off hand. Congrats!

The 50 yd; only allowed myself 1 on each....that was the challenge! No do-overs!!

Looks good to me RR. Especially under those conditions

Nice shooting. Like your coat. Pendleton National Parks material?

Brrrrrr, makes my bones ache just looking at your picture.

Nice shooting and despite the snow that’s a great pic. Feel like it takes us back 150 years other than the fingerless gloves and stocking cap.

Thanks, my capote is a hand woven wool blanket made by Northwest Traders circa early fur trade "voyager" style. No cape, no buttons, 1 inside pocket. Very simple and functional.
From their website:

In the late 1600's the French started to make threaded stiches on cloth. This is what the word empointer means. The English starting using the word "Points" for the fur trade in the 1780's. The English using the system for the price of a blanket where the French used it for just sizing. Thus by changing from size to a price system the English "Point blanket was started. The French changed the name to "Plew", and the whole Plew, or Point system started. The French made Blankets with the stripes together. these are some of the most Beautiful patterns in any blanket. We make these to a higher standard than what was originally made. We offer four beautiful designs. Available in a White body with a Red, Blue and Yellow stripes. Red body with a Black, White and Blue stripes. Blue body with a Black, Red and Yellow Stripe. Natural Grey body with a Black, Green, and Red stripes. These blankets stand out where ever they are seen. Size is 72 by 90 and they weigh 6 lbs. 100%wool

Thanks for the information. Like it a lot! Looked at the website and I can tell they are going to get business from me. Just have to step back a bit so I don't order too much at once.
