RE: Where on Wednesday twenty: House hill ruins
I like him! This guy is interesting. I have a full set of drawings for a 50 BMG Bolt gun. Collecting metal....
Some good shooting on this video.
Do you practice off hand (non dominant) hand shooting too?

I think so too, seems to know his stuff and can shoot too.
I do as competitions often challenge us with that. I shoot IPSC too (handgun) and do the same there. With rifles I also practice shooting on a 90° cant. It's amazing the difference it makes to a shot. Truly amazing. I placed 4th in a comp against 55 of the best long range practical shooters in the country (including military and LEO) a couple years ago because I had cant DOPE and the ability to shoot off-hand.
Here's an IPSC video from YouTube in case you don't know what it is plus a link to the website. https://www.ipsc.org/
They do this at the gun club. The meets are large, and make it difficult to find an open range, as they use a dozen or so ranges. There is a national meet there about once a year.
Glad you mix it up! I found that when I started firing black powder, my modern rifle shooting improved. With black powder the shooter has to hold the site picture while the slow powder burns.
:)>Yeah, IPSC tends to commandeer ranges. I like to mix it up though and it works, for fun. I shot some black powder guns once. It's pretty cool to be honest although I don't know much about it. Makes one respect the wild west gunfighters of the past though huh?
True, they were impressive; it is hard to make them reliable! I have a flintlock pistol I am still trying to get a reliable spark from the frizzen.
It is pretty fun though!
:)>Flintlock? Now that's Old-school! Never fired one. Now I want to! I bet it's cool as! Pistols at 20 paces bro! 🙈
Trying to get it to work, but I am building a rifle to match. The rifle will have two lock assemblies, one flint, and one percussion. I only lack the barrel, plan to go 50 calibre.
I am sure that the lock time will be greater, but it should be a lot of fun anyway! You use the pistol, I'll use my double barrelled 20 gauge black powder shotgun, LOL....
:)>Hmm, how about we do it the other way around? 😃
Only if I get to load the 20 guage, LOL! Clay instead of powder.... :)
Right now, unless I get that lock problem worked out, you might still win....
