Usually muzzle loader season is very good to hunters. I’d try it out. Traditons has some nice ones that you might find useful. I have a .50 and I can shoot cloverleafs at 100 yards with ball and patch.

Wish I were close by. I’d love to join you.
Take care.

Every time I see one of these stories, I think “you can’t clean a loaded gun”....he was either incompetent (where I wish he’d just shot himself), or he was playing around....either way, he wasn’t cleaning a gun.

Wow, I didn’t know that. I thought you’d have to use a scope.

The targets can be seen clearly by anyone with 20/20 vision. The difficult part is getting the bullet to the target accurately.
The apogee of the bullets flight ....200 feet, 4 and 1/3 inches. If I do that I am should be hitting center on a day with not too much wind.
To: coolbreeze
And you unload a muzzle loader how again?

As an aside, I’ve seen a lot of Amish people over the years, but have not ever seen a buggy being driven by one of their females....just sayin’.
Then you haven’t been around Shipshewana or Nappanee very much.

So you’re shooting two thirds of a football field high. Interesting.

The math on this shooting is amazing and is a big draw for me. I love it.
To: null and void
Not by shooting it in the air..uncap it or remove the frizzen powder...if need be, shoot it in the ground.

Dont forget that buffalo hunter William Dixon killed a Comanche warrior at 1,500 yards with an aimed shot during the Second Battle of Adobe Walls while using a black powder Sharps buffalo rifle.
Several hundred feet short of a mile with an aimed shot. If it wasn’t made from a high perch over a canyon , I would doubt the validity of the story also

And anything fired from around 45 degrees angle,, returns to earth at etreme range, very close to muzzle velocity.
Care to back that up with a source? Very close to muzzle velocity? that’s BS

Around here we go pickerel shooting and that bullet ricochet is something you always have to be concerned about.
