shot in the rain today
we had a mountain man shoot today and tomorrow, today it was raining and in the 80s no wind ..i took a 54 cal new englander into the woods we shoot at steel targets, i hit 80 percent of the targets and had no miss fires....thanks to you guys and this fourm I'm sure .....it felt good to have the gun shooting in the nasty weather..my gun's a cap gun......, one cap gun we took all apart the nipple and the cleaning screw in the drum but couldn't get it going.....another cap gun we had to take out the ball redo everything and got it working but 2 shots later we had to remove another ball....the flintlocks that were there ,were miss firing but they got them to shoot after a few tries.....hope it drys up for tomorrow but if not its good pratice keeping everything dry. over the years of reading you guys post I've got a better understanding of what i need to have with me and what to do....i'd like to thank you guys .....ed
