Default I Think I'm Ready

Ok I'm not one for shooting a bunch of Paper.But my Bullets came in today that I want to use in my Muzzleloader.I knew I was going to have to change my elevation,for these Sabots,so I made the change and shot a Sabot that I wasn't going to use but it was the same weight.Hundred yards it hit little high.Thought ok I'll leave it there.Loaded with the Sabots I'm going to use,fired little to the Left,fired again almost same spot.Made little adjustment,fired again.Looks good,not going to mess with it anymore.Who needs a dang Scope?

Me.. I need a dang scope. I have recently been having a bad time shooting open sights anymore, especially at 100 yards or longer distances. That is some excellent shooting there. It looks like you are all set. Nice shooting.

What rifle, bullet and powder were you shooting?

The nice thing about deer - they never complain about a cheap shot.

Big pile, Wow, 3 shots touching with open sights, very nice. Don't know the yardage, but you will surely get them with that kind of shooting.

big rockpile instead of oneshot1? You didn't tell 'em the whole story - like that target bein at 25 yards an all. And that scope that failed bein a RedHead step-child. Who needs a scope? ME.

Hope you get a big ol good un today, Dave.

an whar'z dat Big Grin?
