I just think I should be able to hit a clay pigeon off a rest at a 100 - say 8 out of ten times... it just did not happen today... ticked me off...
I agree with you on the TC Hunter peeps. They are a pain in the butt to adjust. I like them, but the Lyman sight is far superior.
I have the Lyman on my #1 gun and REALLY DO PREFER it... I might have to see if I can pick up another one off ebay...
After I finished shooting the targets I posted in my Flintlock Follies thread one of my buddies challenged me to hit the 10" round steel plate we have hanging from the 150 yard target frame. I turned the dial on the Lyman sight four clicks up and took a shot. He said "I think you went just over it". So I turned it down two clicks and shot again. Hit! We went down range for a look and the lead splat was about two inches off dead center. Of course, I called it good and stopped shooting for the day (It was getting dark anyway).
I just looked at your targets... awesome - makes mine look as bad as I feel. I wonder how much difference the slow RB twist might be in the real world.
My soul saving thought is the gong targets we shoot at a Rondy are really fairly good sized when shooting the longer ranges... And I can normaly do OK at the shorter ones... There is one target at a Rondy in Troy, Oregon that is 150 yards up a very steep cliff - the angle is terrible feels like straight up - I am going to get that one this year - crap it is a metal cutout of a bear.
althought I could relate to the Power Belt target...
