Springtime in the Rockies

[RanchRoper]

Shot my Frontier percussion rifle today, gorgeous day 55F and sunny. Took both flintlock and caplock with me, and used the flintlock for another competition target. But the one dialed in today was the caplock.

Pedersoli Frontier Percussion
50 yds off hand
50 grains T7 powder
.490 patched ball

Forgot how much fun this rifle is to shoot too, and it's quite accurate. 6 shots.

Its that nut behind the butt thats accurate nice target. If I get back on track here this week hope to get one of the Hawkens out and get the new front sight the right height.

My left eye is all puffed up with some sort of cold but I aim with the right eye luckily.

I always enjoy your range reports. Good job shooting.

[RanchRoper]

Thank you.

The only way I could put up an off hand target like that is with powder burns on it.

Fantastic shooting RR.

I would have to just sit on the bench with a steady hand and an ice pick.
