Muzzleloaders really ARE therapy!
Someone opined on THR that shooting black powder firearms was therapeutic. After a rather hectic week, I'd have to say that was understating things a little bit. I took my Lyman GPR out today, popped a few caps, burned some powder, and slung a little lead down range. It sure beat the hell out of punching a clock.
FYI: that's a 20-shot group in the picture.

My son immediately noticed that you shoot a left-handed percussion. He loves his.

Excellent group and I take it that you were shooting 100 grains of Black Powder. I have a simular set up only the peep sight is on a T.C. Pennsylvania hunter in 31" barrel with 1 in 66" twist. Had to teach a class today of all women and thought for sure I'd get in trouble by "Mis-Speaking." Made it through just fine with only one slip of the toungue. One of the ladies had never shot anything before today and got her to shoot one of our 50's. She was so happy that she got teary eyed. That kind of took me back a bit as I have never seen this before. Shot about 50 rounds in all and even got some to load and shoot. One of the ladies just got back from Iraq and boy could she shoot. This too was therapeutic. |

I did, however, manage to ring a gong set up at 100 yards after I got the sights adjusted. I'm planning on heading out again tomorrow.
