Trying to get comfortable with the new Jaeger. I told my son we were still “dating”, lol. It’s been loaded for a few days and I wanted to empty it. My son wanted to shoot the Lyman 50 GPR caplock. That makes me happy because it’s been a few years since he shot it.
I have this chicken silhouette that’s mounted to a spring on an old wheel. We placed it at 75 yards. I fired one shot just like if I was hunting. It was from a rest but not sandbags. The shot in the middle is the .62. It hit about an inch left of where I was aiming.
My son hit the leg twice with the GPR. I asked where he was aiming. He said, “at the bottom of the body.” Uhm, ok - that’s about where you hit buddy.
I’m beginning to trust the flintlock. I’m getting accustomed to that big ‘ol lock moving when the trigger breaks. I think in time we’ll be good together.
