    smooth bore info

    I got my first smoothbore in 1979, it was a 12ga English Fowler made by Jud Brennan. I loaded it with 80gr's 2ff and a prb and it shot like a rifle out to 50yds. They were just starting to have primitive Trade Gun matches. Back then there was not many guys shooting smoothbores so they started...

    Native American ball loads???

    Skychief, me too. This is me in my Indian outfit in 1945 when I was 9 years old on the farm. My pinto pony's name was Scout. I had a bow and arrow bought from the catalog and an ancient old single shot shotgun that we found in the rafters of the barn that I'm sure wouldn't fire.

    Native American ball loads???

    The ball on the left from my 20ga fowler was recovered under the hide of the 2nd deer. Ball on the right is unfired.

    Native American ball loads???

    The point I was trying to make was that 80gr's was more than enough killin power so any more than that would be a waste IMHO Two deer with one shot

    Native American ball loads???

    Spence, I understand your point and I respect your opinion. I'm an old man too and I still try to be period correct in all of my ML endeavors. Like you because of my age and health condition I sometimes have to make exceptions like with the problem with my feet. I also keep my insulin pen's...

    Stupid question - Smoothbore sight

    I use the tang screw on my fowler too. I line up the bead with the shadow of the slot in the screw.

    The man that posted this was happy with his find and wanted to show it to others. I'm sure he wasn't expecting to get the response he got from you. He is fairly new on this forum and has not posted a lot. I hope you didn't sour him and run him off.

    My problem is you being hypocritical. Jumping on anyone that uses an item that you think is not PC...asking for documentation. Sometimes that is hard to come by from not very complete historical records. By your own admission what you yourself use is not all PC that's why I say your being...

    BH, I saw in an earlier post you made you said when you go on a scout in addition to carrying what you need for emergencies, flashlight, first aid kit, cell phone, water purifier,... you carry a bottle of Rum and enough food to feed a squad. Being such a stickler on PC I'll bet your Rum is in a...
