Oh man did that feel good. A few weeks ago I purchased a peep sight from Bad Karma. I purchased it for my sidelock ( The long one in the avatar) I think it is a Cabelas or an Investarms with a Green Mountain replacement barrel for round balls. I dont remember after 35 years where it came from. What I do remember is it is my favorite gun to shoot and is not fussy about what it shoots. You've heard me say Ive killed 2 deer a year on the average for 30 years with this gun. Well my eyes are getting tired so 5 years ago I put it away and moved on to Inlines. Then Thanks to you guys here I picked up on the idea of a peep sight.
Well I got the sight on and went out to shoot. I brought .490 balls and 495 balls. I only brought Pyrodex with me because I do remember thats what I was shooting when I retired it. 2 kinds of patches and CCI #11 caps. Shots taken at 70 yards.
First 3 shots bottom left. I was trying to hold the orange target sitting on the top of the front bead.
80 gr (v) Pyrodex RS FF
.495 hornady ball
CVA Pre Lubed Patches
CCI #11 cap
Second 3 shots top right. I was trying to cover a small part of the orange target.
100 gr (v) Pyrodex RS FF
.495 hornady ball
CVA Pre Lubed Patches
CCI #11 cap
I really dont feel the need to improve this group at least from the standpoint of the guns ability. Im the one who needs to practice and get used to being behind this gun again.
Did I say this feels so good.
