Don't worry
Bronko. You won't have to make that long drive to kick my butt. This one will stay virtuous.
Sabotloader, I may have violated one or two of the laws of muzzleloading - but I was visited by the god
Chutengood (The happiest and kindest muzzle loader god. May he smile upon you.) I think I could kill a couple of your clay birds with this one.
Thanks much
Cayugad. I do plan to try some longer range shots with it one day. But for now I'll just look at target #5 every few days and keep grinning.
Dang it
Head. Now you're telling me I'm going to have to buy my very own laser range finder?

So far, I've just been borrowing one from a buddy now and then.
What rear vernier did you use?? And how did you mount it?? Is that a blade on the front?? I would bet that a little taller bead would tighten your groups up even a little bit better.
Don't know who made the vernier. I bought it years ago and it's not marked. It's never been on a gun before. The mounting holes fit perfectly on the TC tang (which has the extra threaded hole between the two main tang mounting screws). The front sight is the red fiber optic that comes on Green Mountain drop in barrels. What advantage would a taller bead provide?
