    round balls don't do well

    When sighting in a new gun of any kind, I put them on a rest . Secured so that I am only touching the trigger. When you reach your Optimal accuracy, then you pick it up and use a rest. When satisfied , move on to OFF HAND shooting......Chances are you'll NEVER shoot as good as gun can without...

    It always AMAZED me why someone would steal a ONE OFF or a historically significant item, You can't display it or advertise it. But MUST kept it hidden from all who might sell you out. As mentioned if the OLD BOY had passed before being caught, It's very likely that the item would go UNNOTICED...
