Default how does cayugad do it.

I just got 7 guns, had my next range session planned. then an kink, 2 new guns that need my attention.

well, I have my self an problem.

my next range session was going to be, my 50cal hawken to get it finally sighted in and my knight usak with conical tests.

now, I have two more guns to shoot. I am going to hold off on the flinter until I can work out my budget a little better. I am hoping to finally work out the kinks on my 54cal, so that leaves my silver eagle scoped and need to be sighted in, and my 50cal hawken.

so I need some options

guns at this time.
knight usak (50cal conical)
rest round ball
silver eagle, (cva botcat pretty much I be leave by the ssn it was made in 95) (going to check the twice)
50cal hawken
hopefully 54cal hawken

since I only have 2f goex, I am going to hold out on shooting the flinter. no matter how much I want to start trying it out.

Corey, since you only have Goex FFg yo're going to hold out shooting the flinter!? Why? FFg was made for a flinter. If yo're worried about powder for the pan, use a plastic bowl and a wooden dowel (with a rounded end) and mash up a little FFg for your pan.

If I am not mistaken he has a range for a backyard (I bet that must be awesome!)

Yeah, you guys got a point. I forgot about that. Cayugad can just go 'out back' and shoot. Another plus to that is - you don't have to go far if you forgot something. Which happens to me often enough. Especially when I am in a hurry.

FFg GOEX works just fine in the pan of a flintlock.

Corey, just put a number on each one. Put the numbers in a hat and draw out. Whichever is drawn will be your 1st project. Problem solved. lol

lol, I normally take two

I have some time to think about it. I may not be able to get to the range for a few weeks. I figured someone would hurt me if I go shooting on the 28th. lol
