Tn deer

[mp77]

I was blessed to shoot this buck yesterday morning in Southern Giles co TN. Got him with a TC renegade .54 my dad bought back in the 80's. I resoled the frizzen a couple months ago and its like shooting a new gun now lol.

Congrats :hatsoff:
Any information on the frizzen?

I used a piece of spring steel .032 thick, shaped in the curve to match the frizzen face. I used a propane torch to heat the piece of spring material to cherry red then quenched in oil. Then jb welded it to the frizzen face, once jb was dry I ground the outside to shape. Oh another thing the first on I made was to hard and brittle it broke so the second one I made I tempered it after heat treating it. It sparks like crazy now.

A nice Tennessee deer. More deer are killed in Giles County than anywhere else in Tennessee and I am fortunate to live close. Congratulations, well done.......robin :bow:

Thanks guys. I was shooting a .535 RB .015 pillow ticking and 65gr of Swiss 3F. The shot was 40 yards he was walking up a hill head on to me. When the smoke cleared he was laying right there.
