Started packing up for Hawken Classic. The pic of tripod will be set up at the Gemmer info table
Shot the Pedersoli Fontier .45 cal to figure out its preferred load and where it's hitting for sight picture. The answers were: 60 grains and three inches low at 50 yds and six inches low at 100 yds. Some front sight filing will be done and trials repeated.

Finally got my new fall/spring weight Capote Canadien. My better half and I popped over to an island we like in the canoe and did a little stump shooting. Awesome coat just in time for rabbit season Sept 15th.

Very cool pictures. Your outfit looks great.
I had just read where hunting frocks, when worn with a sash, that the sashes were also tied in the back.
SUPERB display! Please tell me - and forgive my ignorance - what is the function of the leather 'sleeves' on the butts of two of your rifles? They look so nice!
Appreciate your kind words.
Ya I think Dodderidge mentions tying sashes behind. It certainly was the style in New France.
Mark Baker believes even leather belts were buckled at the rear.

Spent an hour kicking myself this morning. For buying a 220 dollar rifle and not a 1,300 dollar rifle.
My Jukar Junker in .45 caliber is just plain awful. Awful I tell you.
All this made in Spain barrel does is cut clover leaves at 25 yards. Sooooo disgusted. Damn 80s technology.
50 grains of that crappy T7 substitute powder and Taylor Pork Roll casing for patches. Rubbed in a mixture of bee's wax/coconut oil/olive oil.
I hope my day gets better. Cuzz this pic of poor performance makes me wanna barf.
PS: Ignore the 50 yd on the target. I was so shaken up by the shotgun pattern that I forgot where I was on the range.

That is sighted in.
Kentucky windage will take care of the rest.
Shaving the front sight would only make her shoot higher.
Guess I could give the rear sight a little tappy tap to the left.

I git up and looked at my new purchase picked up yesterday in Far Far NE Phoenix area. GREAT deal. NIB .36 from CIMMARON Uberti for $325.00. 5 shot 62. Came with 7 (SEVEN) new boxes of balls and two sets of slix shot nipples, new wrench and some spare parts. VERY nice mamber is slimming down as he is blessed to care for his ailing wife. Pray for them.
Used the $$ I was saving for the investarms .36 hawkin flintlock. But thats just an OK deal, this was a one of a kind thing. Cant wait to get my Sherrif back from Mike (getting goonerized) and see if the nipples will fit it (it's also a Uberti).

aim at the right side ear for them tree rats and hit him right between the eyes! VERY nice. Funny how the cheap no good POS rifles can outshoot the $3K customes quite regularly! Where you score this one?
