I believe it is as well...but to be clear I'm not taking credit for inventing the idea...bought one years ago that while the concept was OK, it was poor quality material, poorly constructed, poorly waterproofed, etc...set about making a better one. And Kudos to Ms Roundball for her skills with...

Muzzle down and lock constantly up under your rain jacket, coat, etc. And this won't help you with your hunt date right here on you, but for the future, if you really want to protect a good looking Flintlock, full length protection comes from a full length "rain cover"...made them for my...

Excellent work as usual Pletch...hands on experience eliminates the keyboard speculation. As an FYI, I use strong brass ram / range rods, and my style is to seat a ball then lean my body down on the ramrod as hard as I can. Have done that with all caplocks and Flintlocks I've owned in an...

Sounds like a good trip, congratulations. :thumbsup: Note: Just an opinion, assuming you guys went after the wounded bird after the shot and not hours later, I'd be surprised if that was the bird he shot.

Good one Herb !! :grin: So simple a 12 year old will grasp it. But, it remains to be seen if prolific posters, keyboard hunters, bandwidth burners, and internet trolls will get it... :hmm:

That's gettin it done, congratulations ! :thumbsup:

FWIW, my GM 38" x .40cal was a tack driver with .395" balls and .018" pillow ticking.

Pretty sure those have hollowed out cavities to fit modern pistol bullets intended for use in non-traditional modern muzzleloaders

When you're right, you're right! :thumbsup: Unfortunately, a bane of public forums are the trolls, holier-than-thou attitudes, disruptive personality types, etc...systematically going up and down forum categories looking for threads to post negative disruptive comments in, no positive...

Good one as usual Spence. :thumbsup:

This is the PACT Pro set up at a little informal range I use...the sensors are in their housings at each end of the screen bar, but I still wanted the added measure of protection for their little glass or plastic covers, so added the clear tape.

Mine came with 15' cables and recommended to set it up at the 15' length; Chronographed loads out of .45/.50/.54/.58cals and never had any unexplained readings or indications that patches caused any issues. PS: One thing I did at the beginning was to cover each sensor with a strip of 2" wide...

To be clear, I mentioned that the target in the photo was at 35yds...

What I've learned shooting PRBs out of various 28 and 20ga smoothbores over the years is there's a direct correlation between velocity & accuracy...disproportionally more so than with a rifle. My conclusion being since there's no rifling to impart spin stabilization, if I drive the PRB fast...

I wouldn't say "any range" but out to about 50yds, yes...my Early Virgina keeps them all in a 3" circle at 50yds from a seated hunting position at the range, and would be better from a bench. But in the reality of various lighting / hunting conditions with a turkey twitching its head...

PS: Well, I may have been ready...but the turkey gods must have been on break because I never heard a gobble or saw a feather. Heard 3 shots (7:00am, 7:30am, 8:20am) from the exact same spot on the adjacent property like I do every year...probably been baiting them for months.

Since there always seems to be a lot of threads about round vs. square patches, for what its worth I started out with store bought round patches years ago, and have now used square patches for a number of years in various calibers & gauges...simple / quick to make, 100% reliable. Picked these up...
