Title: Flintlock triple trophy
Post by: Dutch on May 23, 2025, 06:13:32 PM

Hi everyone,
I am still on cloud nine having just completed a Pennsylvania triple trophy.
This bird and I have met twice before but this morning he fell to effects of a load of #6’s to the back of his head at 12 yards.
10” beard, 1.25” hooks.
Gun is a self built .54 smoothbore in the Dickert style, 60gr FFF and 1.5 oz lead shot.
