Went to an awesome rondy with plenty of shooting opportunities. I did learn that rectangular patches shoot just like round patches. I did so much shooting I got to running low on denim patch strips. Instead of cutting a strip from my pillow ticking shirt. I opted to just cut the strip in small rectangles so I would have enough. I had a strip about 10 inches long and had to get 17 shots out of it. so i cut little tears just wide enough to cover the ball on the sides. It was a lot quicker than cutting those silly circles at the muzzle and seemed just as accurate. I know a square would make more sense but I had to be so sparing with it. I was making patches for my 58 and that takes a lot of fabric.
The second thing I learned is to always change to a new sharp flint on a "hammer fall" klatch counts as a shot. (I already knew that) but wasted a couple of shots that I probably would have made. I had 2 klatches on back to back targets and before I could change it I had 2 klatches on a gray squirrel that came through the woods walk and posed for a perfect head shot.
I learned that anything fried is good eating, I already knew that as well but I fried up two nice bobcat hindquarters and I as well as everyone that tried them was pleasanly surprised. I cut the hind quarters up in small nuggets and rolled them in seasoned flour. I then fryed it like chicken and it tasted delicious.
