"Ole Nelly" draws blood

[rabjr]

That's what I've Christened her.

Had a nice morning hunt on the Island, back home now. Here's the story, http://www.nimrodsplace.com/nerifle23.html

Also found this that I had forgotten about on my camcorder when I was getting ready to go over to the Island. I captured the my first shot out the new .58 at the first range session last spring. http://www.nimrodsplace.com/video/neriflefirstshot.wmv

Swamp Rat, yer the man!
:hatsoff:

I thought I had a nice little place to shoot from under a little open sided pole shelter, but that place you're shooting out of looks great...let the wind howl and the sleet rattle...just shoot away...the only thing better would be an electrically operated target holder....er...uh...or do you have that too??? :grin:

Way to go SR. How much powder are you loading?

 

[rabjr]

Oh yeah my club has sound issues with neighboring houses. We are forced to shoot from inside, basically a three car garage type thing and the pistol guys have their own "garage" too. It is kinda compfy though hehe. :thumbsup:

:bow: Nice Doe and a beauty of a rifle.

I noticed on your video you have excellent follow through on your shot. That is alot harder to have on a flinter.
