Default RE: How Many of You Shoot Roundballs?

Sharp Shooter,
Everybody shoot roundballs at one time or another and if they don't there missing out.
My 1st ML deer was a doe at 90+yds using a .54cal round ball in my T/C Hawken rifle. It was many years ago and I can remember it like it was yesterday.
The deer was gone by the time the smoke cleared. I didn't like the fact that the smoke blotted out her reaction to the hit and I didn't have the foggiest ideawhat direction she ran off. When I got up to the spot where she was standing there was a litttle blood, but not much of a blood trail.I was glad that we had somesnow to makethe tracking easier. I followed what little blood I had over the top of the hill and there she layed. She piled up less than 30yds. from where I shot her.
I had harvested many deer before withmy bow& shotgun and I don't ever remember being that excited before. I didn't know it at the time,but I was turning into a "blackpowder junky"
