This is one of the BP guns I have. I haven't shot it much yet but maybe I can change that soon. Your target is awesome! I will not ever achieve that but I'll have fun making smoke and thunder at the range!

I try... but my vision isn't as sharp as it was. I'm 71... lots of things are not like they used to be! :00: Its not that I can't find the target its just it has gotten a bit more fuzzy. I'll be sure to comment about my next range trip. I've got to get some trigger time with the Hawken, the Patriot, and the 1860 .44 cal. That will be a busy cleaning effort!
