After a 7 year break we ran a trailwalk at our club Sunday. 10 shooters and 10 targets spread out on the ranges. It was a great morning of shooting and b&@l busting amongst friends.

That’s a great looking horn!!

I have found that my smoothbore- 62 cal fowler likes both prb and paper loads. The catch is it will only shoot the paper well if I use a particular paper for the cartridge. I have a small roll of masking paper the painter used in the shop. They both shoot a very close impact on paper.

Thanks for all the replies. Theres some really nice measures. I kept it simple, drilled holes then a dremel to shape the mouth and get the desired powder amount. Thanks, Kevin

Three different drill buts with 7/16 being the largest. Then finished it to 70 grains with a dremel tool. I couldn’t find my scraper. Nothing fancy but, It was fun to do some muzzleloading stuff again. It’s been a while

Thats a really beautiful horn! Makes me want to go throw rocks at mine hahaha

Last years squirrel hunt, with my fowler Great day in the trees but no luck

Because. And muskets are fun!

The fowler on the bottom has been my go to for a long time, I just got the Fusil so that will be this years go to. The fowler has killed alot of squirrels still waiting for that deer. Both are .62 smoothbore guns.
