Title: not to bad for an old Mavi Hawken :-)
Post by: cal.43 on September 19, 2008, 03:12:44 PM
 Last weekend I had been at a shootingmatch in Reinheim and the more then 20 years old Mavi Flintlock Hawken performed very well first place in my categorie. ;D

"Veddddy intehestink" - too bad your cannons can only shoot blanks!    I didn't see anyone shooting rifles? Congrats on the 'first" place?

itīs a small meeting at a nice location and all cannons are only proofed for saluting here where only one or two places to shoot fullsize canons ( military shootingranges).
the competion was shot at a range 50 m for rifles 5 shoots to Buffalo or Moose target only 10-8 count
my Mavi Hawken reached 45 points with my standard for a .45, powder measured with a .50AE case a patch and a roundball.
