Walker Horse Pistol, Good For Squirel Hunting

[Ted W. Coombs]

I spent most of the month of Aug. trying to find a good load for the horse pistol contest on the Forum. Came up with a pretty good round ball load at 18-20 yards on a sand bag rest. :thumbsup:

Being it is squirel season thought I would give the Walker a try.

First shot resting on the side of the tree missed but I bet not by much. Anyway, the squirel ran up to the top of the tree and jumped into another small oak tree. He hesitated long enough for me to get the sights on him and I fired another shot off hand and brought him down. :grin: After shooting the Walker the month of Aug. I feel more confident with my ability, the Walker sure done it's part. :thumbsup: It was a young squirel and should make good squirel biscuits and gravey. I sure enjoyed doing the horse pistol contest. :grin: :grin:

Can't have more fun than hunting squirrel with a cap n ball revolver. My favorite is a 61 Navy .36, but I still have a month and a half to wait for the season to come in. Lots of summer fun, too, stalking groundhogs along the fence rows.

Good Shooting!!!

Good shooting!

I popped a bunny with a .36 Navy and I was as surprised as he was. The only way to hit anything with it is to not aim carefully; just point and shoot quickly.

Nice shooting, but the Walker is a bit of overkill for squirrels. It was originally used to kill horses.

I would think it would have no problem with deer.
