Easy just shut your eyes and pull the trigger. I have to ask if I've broken the clay. "Usually no" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 My late friend was into muzzle loaders, after 25 clays he looked like he had done 8 hours in a coal mine 😄 Gun cleaning was something else again ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNKS Posted December 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) Not a muzzle loader. 120 year old Daintith. Home loaded cartridges but cleaning is still a bit of a faff! Edited December 6, 2022 by DUNKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discobob Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 I remember being on patrol on a sunday at 11 Sigs at Catterick - and there was a shooting club on the 25mtr range - me and my stag buddy had a good go on everything including black powder - a Rhinoceros Gun - hammer action but had been modified to take cartridges!! There were also pistols (inc. a magnum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisdom Posted December 24, 2022 Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 There is something special about blackpowder and muzzle loaders maybe it's due to the connection of history.I just like seeing both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
