Default finally shot my 56 smoothbore tc

I saved the targets but left them in my buddys truck lol....I shot .550 balls and .562 and I got a 1/2 a coffee can of balls from my buddy's friend....they all shot well...I was shooting 25 yards haveing never shot the gun before.....every shot went where i pointed it lol if I felt I dropped the gun the bullet dropped lol no flyers...felt good thinking I messed up the shot not the gun or the sights...I shot as good with the smoothbore as the rifled barreled guns (sidelocks)....I was useing 70 grans of prodex....I'm going to shoot it in the mountain man shoot this weekend, I got a tomahawk yesterday lol my buddys kid was teaching how to throw it today...he's 11......my last shot today was at my buddy's target at 50 yards he had 8 shots in the black...i think it was a 6 inch black circle target...he said ok and he'd watch with the spotting scope after the shot I asked where did it go?...he chucked me the bird(finger) x-ring lol total luck....I'm feeling good lol can't wait to the shoot this weekend...ed

Can't beat that Stripercrazy. I've never fooled with a smooth bore (other than a stattergun of course). Never admit to luck when you make a really good shot. Just smile and quite shooting.
