Davy Crockett Shooting

[Claude Mathis]

Davy could sure shoot, even if he did load directly from the horn. :wink:

Out comes two perfect round balls, not even a knife mark! I always watched that show as a kid.

 

[Wes/Tex]

We did't think in terms of HC/PC when we were kiddos! It was just cool!!

 

[The Goose]

Yep, way cool. I loved that show.

"That's the kind of shooting that makes the old possum squeal"!!

See - proof that even Davy used Hornady swagged round balls and Ox-Yoke pre-cut/pre-lubed patches.

And note, he didn't use a micrometer or a scale before he loaded :rotf:

But gotta get me one of those pre-measured dispensing powder horns - design must have got misplaced over the years when muzzle loaders went through their "dark ages" :hmm:

How bout them durn fools standing by the target while they shot.

This thread got me thinking about the Daniel Boone series. It's on Amazon but it's going for big $$$, even used.

 

[brubincam]

maybe Davy was shooting ball bearings

 

[David W.]

Did anyone notice the daylight poking through the board he was digging the bullets out of?

He was my HERO!
