.62 caliber smoothbore

I am glad you are happy hunting with that gun.
Come September 1st our Dove season opens for two weeks.
I will be taking out my .75 cal flintlock Blunderbuss / Musket.
Two years ago I got 7 Quail with it during the first day of the season.
The only thing that might hold me back this year is out heat.
It is so dry this year.
I am afraid of starting a brush fire out in our desert.

I have been wanting to hunt with a shotgun like this for awhile. There is lots of good squirrel hunting in these state parks and you can only use a shotgun. I usually hunt with a 22 rifle other places. It was foggy this morning and the air was heavy and the blackpowder smoke hung in the air for awhile. It was really neat. I very rarely see anyone else and the solitude is a good thing. That is some good shooting 7 quail with a .75............Curdog

That was 7 Quail.
But I didn't keep count of the shots I missed on both Quail and Cottontails.
But the Fun was thru the roof shooting like our forefathers did many years ago.
Plus it took some getting use to hunting moving animals with a flintlock because of the minor delay when you fired the gun.
That little Bang then Boom made me have to increase the leade on the animal.
Oh I forgot.
The .75 has NO sights

Most of my barrels were returned in about two weeks.
But it has been over a year since I sent Bobby a barrel.
Just call him.
He will keep you up to date on how busy he is.
