    Pedersoli 20 gauge flintlock double shotgun

    I called after I placed the order online and asked them to check the gun for “obvious imperfections” before shipping. I believe they are going to make it right in the end. But so much for my plans this weekend. I guess I will volunteer for “work day” at my muzzleloader club I am joining, instead...

    Black powder shooting`s getting ex-Pen-SIVE!!!

    regarding the support of small biz. In central Florida, you can buy real black at Bill Jackson’s in Pinellas county and at Buffalo Bills in Orlando. Sometimes they run out, but they always get more.

    Thanks for the info, all. Especially the tip about maintaining some lead to account for lock time delay.

    think I’ll stick with the sporting clay course until I find a few other front stuffers to do five stand with.

    Pedersoli 20 gauge flintlock double shotgun

    The kind folks let me in on a five stand shoot in Myakka Fl when it was too cold for the regulars. They timed me. I could load two barrels ready to shoot in 3 1/2 min.

    Pedersoli 20 gauge flintlock double shotgun

    I love it when shooters walk up to me on the sporting clay course and ask about the gun. Always glad to demonstrate and let the curious fire the gun. Gonna be more fun with the flintlock 😀

    Pedersoli 20 gauge flintlock double shotgun

    I have realized quickly that 5 stand and front loaders don’t mix unless all the the shooters are muzzleloaders. The pace of 5 stand is obviously too fast .

    I should have asked a better question. Is anybody else shooting thier front loading shotguns at sporting clay courses. seeking to discuss your experience there. So far, I enjoy shooting the 12 ga percussion on the course.

    Pedersoli 20 gauge flintlock double shotgun

    Got one on the way. I have read every post on this forum that pertains to flintlock double barrel shotguns that I could find. I got a lot of good info. Seeking any advice for shooting this gun at “sporting clay” courses. Currently shooting 12 ga Navy Arms percussion at a sporting clay course in...

    found out that I can load and prime both barrels from my bag in about 3 1/2 minutes.

    Navy Arms Pietta double Barrel

    Maybe next time I’ll try and shoot at a true pair at each station. I’ve tried 5 stand, and of found out that the pace of 5 stand is not conducive to muzzzleloading. Luckily, the folks I was shooting 5 stand with were kind and patient.

    Navy Arms Pietta double Barrel

    To conserve on time and supplies, I shoot one barrel at target A and the other at target B. Then I move on to the next station. Takes me a leisurely 3 1/2 hours to walk and shoot the 15 station course, firing at 30 clays. so a session for me uses up 2 pounds of shot and 30 of each card and wad...

    Navy Arms Pietta double Barrel

    Been shooting my new to me navy arms/pietta 12 gauge SxS. It was manufactured in 1989. Shooting a 15 station sporting clay course in Lakeland Fl. What fun! My only real problem is not always being able to see if the clay broke ( depending on the wind direction, and the angle of the flying...
