Ever shoot trap or skeet with a muzzle loader? It is a whole nuther ball game. Timing is a lot different, and you REALLY need to follow through.

If you don't mind experimenting with loads to get good patterns, keep it & start the fun. There are as many ways to load them using different wad, shot, powder combos as there are stars in the sky. Like most things the KISS system seems to work best for me. I have a 20 & 12 gauge Pedersoli. My favorite way to hunt birds. I shoot skeet, but just not the doubles. I reload at the next station while the group shoots, so I don't hold everybody up. This makes for a 16 shot round, but still loads of fun.
