Went to a woods walk shoot at the muzzleloading club this past weekend, had my first try at the card shot. They place a playing card 10-15 yards away, set sideways on a post, with the thin edge facing the shooter. Object is to hit it dead on the edge and cut it in half with your round ball. Was shooting my silver Lehigh flinter. How'd I do? ;D

Oh, crack POT! I thought it said crack SHOT! My bad! And BTW, you maybe might want to use a little more powder next time: looks like you BARELY penetrated that lil ol' card! ;D ;D ;D Good shooting Dave! Have you done the axe thing yet? I had to try it soon as I got my first ML, 23 years ago! (took me a couple tries though )

I was nervous to open this at first. I thought this might have been the "ole plumber" shot. Nice shooting!

LOL, last time I shot with Steve we tied for 3rd.He was content to leave it at that, but NOOOOO! I HAD to beat him! So, I threw down the gauntlet. He picked it up and beotch slapped me with it! At least there we lots of witnesses who STILL bring it up!

any body can hit them standing still Osprey. I like to give them a fighting chance by shooting a couple shots over their head to get them running.. make it a little more on the up and up...

That's funny Fox, I don't remember 'Sporting Chance' as being the words I heard coming from your stand after the first two shots...

I'm with you Osprey. I remember Fox describing something along the lines of "#$%^" that he screamed at the top of his lungs.

That's cause the damn thing wouldn't run after the first two warning shots.. I think the poor sika was deaf... but it worked out great for me..

We can sort all this out next year, we'll only give Fox ONE slug to take with him on the sika hunt.
