Default RE: '63 Zouave Shoots!!!

You stole that rifle for that price. And it is clear that you are a good shooter with it. Does that rifle shoot high? The reason I ask is a friend of mine owned one and we would aim at the target and shoot a foot high. He had to get different sights for it, but after that he had a good shooter as well. As I remember he used to shoot about 60 grains of black powder and a minnie ball.

He deer hunted one year with it and I was with him. We jumped some does on the side of a marsh hill. And he pulled up and when one stopped to look back he cut loose and hit her in the eye. I never seen a deer flip around like that in my life. Your post made me remember that little incident.
