Who's the hippie? I liked that, esp with the two ball load.

Mrs BPMS wanted me to get it cut!
It is a lot shorter now!

I liked it long, but I can't throw rocks because while I normally let my hair grow (what I have left) throughput the winter months, I got tired of fooling with it and cut just after Christmas.

Think it might make a better tack driver if you grab the barrel and use it as a hammer. Make sure it's unloaded first.

Watching you shoot that gun reminded me of the old golf adage:
The best two balls I hit today was when I stepped on the rake in the trap.

But you had fun doing it!

You bet ! Your videos are the only BP shooting videos my wife will sit down and watch with me. She really gets a kick out of them.

I built my GPR pistol in 2005, but didn't get to shoot it until some time in 2007. I didn't know what to expect as far as accuracy as I replaced the sight with a full buckhorn & silver blade. I set the range at a close range [about 30 or 40 feet] I had a 3x5 index card on a piece of firewood for a backstop. I started by using 60 gn. of 3f which I know is a pretty stiff load, but it is a 54 cal. I will attach a picture as soon as I can find it. Looks like I failed computer 101 this time. I have the original target around here somewhere. I'll scan it and post as soon as I can find the original. I think this pistol is going to be one of the most accurate muzzleloader pistols I have owned.
