    Shooting Undersized Round balls into paper targets.....?? Accuracy?

    Mark, Let me say first that I am a Black Powder Maniac Shooter fan. I wear a BPMS button on my hat and enjoy your videos because they’re fun and entertaining. It is not my place to critique your work, but if I may, I’d like to offer a suggestion which would have helped this latest video...

    Bound to happen

    Yeah, after taking it apart, removing the ball, cleaning everything thing up and putting it back together, I got to thinking maybe I could assemble a Kibler. I even learned how not to leave “beauty marks” and how to clean them up if I do. But first, I gotta go see if I can sharpen a pencil now.

    Bound to happen

    This was not the usual dry ball. I did load powder first. But, I tried to take a shortcut and that’s where I messed up. I was loading powder, wad of tow, round ball and another wad of tow. This worked good as long as I seated the wad, ball and wad separately. But, big dummy got in a...

    It’s a beauty mark made by an ape with two left thumbs. It filed out and all is good.

    So, shoot long enough and often enough, you’ll eventually get a stuck ball. On the bright side, I learned to remove a barrel and breech plug from my rifle. May be ready for a Kibler now!😁

    Brand new

    You’re right. The CVA and Traditions flintlocks are almost in a different league. If I were to buy something like a CVA or Traditions flintlock, I would look for a used one that already had the bugs worked out by an experienced shooter. Unless you’re someone who likes to learn by tinkering...

    I have no problems with guns like CVA and Traditions. While not the most expensive guns in my collection, they are certainly not the worst either.

    Help Knapping a flint

    I was never able to sharpen a flint while it was still in the cock. I have to remove mine and place it on a hard surface using press flaking to sharpen it. But that’s just me.

    Shooting Plastic Shotgun Wads in a smoothbore?

    Interesting. I was expecting better results. In my .62 caliber smooth bore, I load 60 grains of 2f, a thick wad of jute tow or brown paper, about 65 grains of shot and topped off with jute tow or brown paper wad. I’ve taken a lot of squirrels with this load. Keep up the good work!

    Brass Tack Job

    Nice! Can we see it next to a leather shooting bag, an old horn, a knife and maybe a ‘hawk to complete the look?

    Im going to do this thing

    And leaving the stopper off the horn could happen no matter what you prime with.
