6" steel @50 yds

Post by RanchRoper » Sun Jul 24, 2022 3:32 pm

My Frontier flintlock, .50 cal. Great day at the range, 85F and sunny. We are still pretty green here due to a wet spring, and the odd rain here and there since. Very lucky.

50 yds off hand, my little 6" steel plate....

More great shooting. We keep hearing about the drought and fires out west, so glad things are still green up there.

August can be a hot dry one, but so far the long range forecast doesn't look too bad.

Good shooting. Must be satisfying to hear it ring. :lol:
I'll know again soon enough. Keep shootin those nice groups.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.
