    Pedersoli Double 20 Ga. Flint

    I have shot my flint sxs 20 a few times with shot, and have been impressed. Had to learn poa/poi, but was able to break clays once I sorted it out. Yesterday I took it to the range and put it on paper for the first time (I know, I should have done that FIRST.) Found what I expected, a little...

    Somewhere, I cannot remember where, I saw a reference to the historical use of patched round balls wherein the ball was pre-wrapped with a lubed patch that was secured to the ball with thread. Did I dream that? Anyone have a reference? Has anyone ever tried that? I would think that the force...

    First Flintlock Deer

    With the early muzzleloading season underway, I was reminded of my first flintlock deer. Taken in the late season here in New York, it posed some challenges.... It was so cold, the geese would not fly. My hunting partner, Steve, and I had been in our ground blinds since first light, waiting...
