Well Finally!!!! My son and I got out to do some shooting. It has been a while waiting for some decent weather to shoot in. Today was right around -10'C (14'F), calm and sunny. Perfect shooting weather. We messed around with the 45-70 and his new to him 30-30 first. I then broke out the BLR 308. Sadly the WGR receiver sight is not going to work on it. I cannot get the elevation low enough to use it. So with the modern stuff all done with it was time to break out the old fashion gear.

Todays entrants were the Lyman Great Plains Rifle Flintlock in .50 cal and the other was a Thompson Center Renegade also in .50 cal The Lyman has a Lyman 57 peep sight on it and the Renegade has a TC Peep sight on it.

Here is the TC target. It was shooting way low but I didn't want to bugger up my group by adjusting anything so I left it where it was. I'll fix it up tomorrow.



and here is the GPR. First shot was on a clean barrel and went left. Not sure if that was me or the gun,,,,probably me.



This was shot # 2 and in the black!

So let's get out there while the weather is nice fella's!!!

HA

I forgot all about that. I may have to try my Lyman flinter out on the 3 shot challenge. Maybe next week.

A day like I had today and it wouldn't be much of a challenge. Gonna go out again tomorrow and see if its better . Shooting is so much more fun when you get good groups o

Good shootin!

I figure the only way I'll ever get three in the black is to keep increasing the size of the black.
