Went out to the range yesterday. I used my offhand target flintlock. It has a 40 inch by one-inch atf Douglass XX barrel in .45 cal.
I used 60 grains Dupont 3f with a .451 ball batched with bear lubed canvass.
I used this target as a aiming point.
I simply shot 5 shots at it and placed the smaller target centered on the center of the group.
It was sunny and not too breezy when I shot at this target. By the time we had a seize fire and was able to place a score target under it, a storm blew in the sun was gone and the wind became strong and variable.
The wind kept gusting and changing direction on my first scoring target,
I didn't notice that I posted the target upside down under the sighting target. There are two holes in the seven ring on the right.
They called a seize fire after my fourth shot. So I placed a target below the other target and shot it without a sighting target over it.
It is my best target with a 41. That little dot is hard to see.
I shot one more target under the sighting target but by then the wind got pretty unpredictable and I lost track of it on my last shot. I also placed that one upside down.
I plan to go out again where I can use my cross sticks, and don't have to deal with the range seize fires.
