Woodsman Hawken is Hog ready!
Got my Woodsman Hawken flintlock out to 75 yards today and used the ATV pulled sideways to shoot off the seat as my shooting sticks are packed away for the trip.
I used that nice upside down V between the bears legs ( yes, not a hog but still useable!) and squeezed off my first shot. LOVED IT! I figured out the pan charge perfectly and she fired quick.
I loaded up #2 shot and let a little light shine through in that V and missed LOL. Its sighted in perfectly with the tip of the front sight.
Loaded #3 and aimed at the other leg, center mass and cut it perfectly. That 3rd shot hurt as the seat bounced back the pans flash and hit me along the right side of my face. But hey, I took it like a pro and felt a huge relief at how she shoots.
So any hog that comes within 75 yards of his flinter is a goner! If I do my part of course.
