Buddy's First Deer

[wirehairman]

My main goal this year was to help my best friend (Fabucci on the forums) harvest his first deer since its my fault he has a stack of muzzleloaders and blackpowder shooting supplies now. After five weeks of close calls, missed opportunities, and a few comedies of errors, it came down to the last day and tag filling time. He demonstrated his ability to overcome a steep learning curve by making a perfect stalk on this small muley buck and dumping him with one shot to the boiler room at 68 yards.

He also made another perfect shot on a mule deer doe a little later in the day. I couldn't be happier for him or more impressed with his shooting. :bow:

He shoots a .50 caliber TC Hawken with a Green Mountain barrel, and I believe he shoots a .490 roundball over 75 grains of Swiss 3F.

Is that an aftermarket barrel? Looks long and the rifling on a T/C is not the hottest for PRBs.
