I am no authority on true BP shooting as I just sytarted this year. I have the Lyman Deer stalker in 1:48 twist. I got excellent groups at 100 yards with the TC Cheap Shots w/supplied sabot. Inside ring on a paper plate consistent w/out much practice. 50 yards touching. 80 grains goex 3f.

Percussion or FL? Good shoting with open sights. Swabing each shot? With what if you are? 50 yards touching is excellent accuracy with open sights. I am happy with 3" at 50.

you should be able to clover leaf a rb at 50 yds with open sights.

what i do is use a 3 ft by 3 ft piece of cardboard WHITE paper.

in middle i take a black marker and put a quarter size dot.

this dot really sticks out at 50 yds.

then i hold the 6 o,clock hold on it.aim top of front sight at bottom of black dot.

this is with a peep sight with a big hole to;)

i know i could do a hair better with my original sights if i could see them.

i also usea 1/4 inch piece of black electrical tape on my glasses in top left hand corner with a small hole punched in it so i cant see everything a little better when i shoot.
