Welllll,,,,,,I don’t know about that. I gotta find them first.
A bit rough there necchi, actually for 50 yards if shooting at a deer that group would Put meat in the freezer. As stated in prior post how's your 50-yard groups off hand, one hole I would like to see the target and your method to achieve such groups. I consider myself a decent shooter and a 3-4 in. group offhand 50 yards with a flinter is a good day for me. Keep at it Banjoman I think your right at 0 deer thirty for 50 yards.Ya need more practice.
50yrds off hand should be very near too one hole, honest.
Aim small,,,
Why does your target photo show all that staged gear?
Your topic is deer practice,,,
Aim Small.
You having a bad day Necchi?Ya need more practice.

Well done on your deer practice, Banjoman. And thanks for staging that image, along with your practice target. It gives a reader an idea of your shooting capability (as well as your rifle's); plus, it's always nice to see another's perspective of kit. I look forward to seeing the results of the hunt. You'll bring home the venison with that grouping.I agree I need more practice! I never get enough! How good it would be to shoot enough to wear that gun or any gun completely out! I still got lead and powder I’ve never used.
My eyesight ain’t what it used to be back when I was a young, stout infantry soldier. Even with my glasses, 50 yards is a long distance for me.
As for the gear, some folks like looking at that stuff, same as I do. Some folks don’t. It don’t matter. I get ideas and inspiration to make things from viewing other folks gear. I ain’t no craftsman, that’s for sure, but I enjoy making stuff for muzzleloaders. Maybe you could share a picture of some of your homemade gear?
I hope to stage that rifle in a picture with a deer later this year. Do you have any hunting pictures to share? Would like to see them if you do.
Do you have an musket pictures? I like muskets!
Thanks!
Have to admit, I take photos. Before and after. I respect the animal; eat em too. I hunt alone, usually, and an image is a good way of sharing the hunt. And of course, there's the sceptical mates - if there's no evidence, it didn't happen!Aim Small.
Don't shoot at the paper(deer),
Shoot at the middle of the paper(deers heart),
I've been wearing glasses since I was 12, they improve your vision, if you stay current with the prescription. (eyes change)
Ya know, our family never has taken pictures of harvests, even the old photo's of my ancestors, Not sure why really,
Humility(?), respect for the game,,(?) Killing something and eating it is part of all our lives, glorifying that just never made sense I guess.
A "Trophy" might be different, but spike bucks, fork horns and fat does aren't trophies,, neither is a limit of crappies, squirrel, duck, or a turkey.
Even that 9're I got with the bow,, I got his rack,, but no pictures of the dead animal and the tools I used to kill him.
We didn't carry cameras in our pocket like today, the "phone" hung on the wall at home.
It's food ya harvest, process and eat,,
When I can no longer hunt, a single malt and a good revision of the images may well do me good. Beautiful, aren't they?
Well said, Aussie Pete and a nice critter, too.Have to admit, I take photos. Before and after. I respect the animal; eat em too. I hunt alone, usually, and an image is a good way of sharing the hunt. And of course, there's the sceptical mates - if there's no evidence, it didn't happen!

I did recover some of the patches and they looked okay, as far as I could tell. I may try your suggestion. I’ve never measured material, just looked for something cotton that would work. I still have a lot to learn about this hobby.
I see your gear n home-made short starter, all looking good. I made a antler measure/starter for my .40 for tree rat hunting in Oct.
Well I’ll tell you what, I’d be happy with that if it was my off hand at fifty yards. D~~n my eyes if I wouldn’t be happy with that off a rest. That group will turn Bambi French every day of the weekI agree I need more practice! I never get enough! How good it would be to shoot enough to wear that gun or any gun completely out!

Might want to try some pillow ticking. I've had very good luck with it.
