Part 1 & 2.
A fun shoot, although a bit cold. We did have a truck drive off the side of the narrow bridge to the site, that took some team effort to get back on the road again!

The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
that's the first time I ever seen it take longer to knock down the rotating plates than it took to set them up.
Great videos waksupi! Sure looks like a good group and a lot of fun - and that's what it is all about. There is just something very special about being able to shoot with a good bunch of people, smell the smoke, drink coffee over a fire and just "live the life"! Thanks for sharing! It brings back a lot of memories of the fellows I used to shoot with.
Looks like a bunch of ole guys having a fun day at the range enjoying a little competition. I noticed a few southpaws in the vids with pans on each side of the barrel. Ahhh, now I know why you go with such a big cal boooolit, you get more boooolit around you sight axis to clip more bulleyes. Cheetos are getting to be a pretty small target, but the apples only one shot. Maybe since being in Ideeeho you should use potatoes for the cool effects on the hit.
Ooops, my cortex just don't work the way it use to even when the words are in front of my face. Mountanian, I sit corrected. Montana does grow potatoes though. The grains would make for pretty small targets with bifocals. I would probably like the sugar beet size targets. I don't know if you could get a quaint drinking village to shoot hops.

May you hands be warmed on a frosty day.
Thanks for the fun watching these guys keeping our traditions alive. God's blessings on you.

Ric is sure welcome in Idaho.
but he'd have to drive down from Montana to get here.
I enjoyed that very much and as has been said, it brought back lots of memories. I shot muzzle loaders in competition for thirty years but never with flint lock. I still have a .45 caliber that is a great shooter. The last time I shot it I fired a five shot group off the bench and got a group you can cover with a quarter. Attached is a picture of the target. The shot to the right of the group was the first shot of the day. By the way, that is a beautiful place you have to shoot.

Great show, looked like a blast!
