I was having an on and off day. I haven't shot paper lately, so I had to fight the instinct to pull the trigger when lined up on the black in general which is fine for steel but not shooting for groups. I knew after firing some of the shots that they would be right or high before the smoke cleared.
Rifle: "Percussion Conversion" Lancaster Longrifle by Scott Coy with .38 caliber, 34" Bobby Hoyt barrel. Shot with 40 grains of Swiss 3F, .018 pillow ticking patches for first target and .020 oiled cotton for second and third target (ran out of the former in my pouch), and Hornady .375 round balls. Pouch by Eric Ewing. Antique powder horn that came out of an auction in the Pacific Northwest.

Ignore that top left, I am way out of practice with my pistol after having the lock repaired. I used to be able to shoot it pretty well, but that was an embarrassing group this weekend.
