Hello all,
Been hemming and hawing over getting a hunting smoothbore, but I have a Bess. Seems to me what I really need to do is get proficient with it.
A friend of mine swears up and down that Brown Besses generally shoot high, so you should aim underneath the target. I kind of know what he’s driving at, but I wondered if anyone had a good explanation for what you’ll see looking down the barrel when you’re aiming at, say, a six inch circle on a paper plate at 25 yards.
What I’d like to get most proficient with is shot. (#7 with wads and cards).
Someone had a photo of a Bess sight picture, but I can’t find it.
Thank you all, and I hope everyone has been well.
