Matchlock Harvest

[PitchyPine]

Now that is something most folks will never do. Congrats!

Thanks, not sure how many times i want to do it. :haha: Couple of things i learned,be sure to incorporate a ram rod into the gun, make it light as possible, put some sort of safety on it. :thumbsup:
My number one hunting gun will be the Blue Ridge 54. :thumbsup:

Wish I could have seen that. I've only seen those guns on TV and in books. That must take some skill to hold on the target (deer) waiting for it to go off. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Nice going Lenn. :thumbsup: Very successful season.

 

[PitchyPine]

Thanks Gents :hatsoff:
Actually ignition is fast, real fast and you can`t see when the match hits the powder so ya don`t flinch at all which makes it so accurate imo. :thumbsup:

Okay, Pitchy!
Now I see that I was highly confused as well as having mental slippage! Hee, Hee!

Thanks for posting the pic. 95 yards is a fair shot with muzzleloader and open sights.

Congratulations! I'll have to come to this forum and then I will keep up with things.
