once again the title says it all. what are the veiws on the use of a carbine at say a 25-50 yard range for taget shooting?? its a 45cal patch and ball if that helps.

many thanks
 
Go for it.

In spite of any differences from bigger guns or hotter loads, you'll still be training your body for shooting. That's more important than any other ballistic or construction detail in my book. Heck, I do most of my "muzzleloader" shooting with an air rifle. I can guarantee you that 10 or 20 shots a night in my living room has more effect than weekly trips to the range.

If your "gallery" lets you shoot the gun more often, that's the key.
 
the 25 yard range is indoors and the 50 is outside. at the club we have a fan system that gets rid of the smoke but me and another chap that shoot there never bother with it as we love that smell. as for getting in some shots i can shoot most evenings and sunday morning on the outdoor
 
I shoot my 50 cal TC white mtn carbine at the local indoor range in winter. They have a very efficient ventilation system. Winter is too cold for outdoor range sessions in my neighborhood. At 25 yards it is easy to see the holes from a 50 cal. :thumbsup:
 
I always liked the looks of the "buggy rifle" that Ned Roberts has in his book. Somewhere I have seen pictures of a "palor rifle" but can't find them. A take down buggy rifle is on the list of "to do" someday.
 
The Traditions Deer Hunter flintlock would fill the bill nicely. Short, very light weight, loads easy, sparky as a beach party camp fire.
 
I like that "Sparky as a beach party campfire" It's going to be a while before there is any beach party camp fires in my neighborhood. Had my mind set on a takedown, guess a guy could build a takedown flinter don't know that I ever saw one but I bet it wouldn't be the first I'm sure that there is one out there somewhere.
