That is some very good off hand shooting there. And it looks like have a good load for the GPH. I will have to try some of the projectiles you mentioned. But I am not going to duplex. Mine is a flintlock so I will stay old school.

I thought about shooting today until I spent the morning wading through waist deep snow in places, with a roof rake, pulling near 40" of snow off the garage roof. After doing the garage and part of the work shop, I was so tuckered out I went inside. I had enough playing in the snow.

Besides, like you, I would have had to put snow shoes on and walk a target out into the back yard, then back, then shoot and use a scope to check the targets. Its been a tough winter so far and more Arctic Polar Vortex Weather is headed our way. No offense but you can keep that bitter cold weather up there with you. So I wanted to get the roofs somewhat cleaned off. I still have the wood shed to do and finish the shop roof.

But looking at that new flintlock of mine, I think I have to shoot it. Maybe tomorrow. We will see what the weather does.
