Today's hunt.

[Britsmoothy]

Used my .63 flintlock today and it always pleases.

I used some wads and nitro cards I pulled from 20g cartridges in summer.

I just used the nitro card on the powder and put the olive oil soaked fibre wad on top of the shot. Worked well, using #5 shot today I got two squirrels, two pigeons and a **** pheasant. I missed some winged vermin and a third pigeon.



I did a little experiment too.

I loaded five large balls loose in a greased patch after the powder and nitro card. Check this thirty yard group.



I was aiming for the brick behind the trigger so needed to hold a little lower but I think it's a good group.

I used to pay a lot for pheasant feathers when I tied my own flies. Now that I shoot and build I have no time to fish LOL.
Looks like you get to eat anyway. Nice prize to be sure.
