If I try this again, I'll put your suggestions into play. I thought about bench resting the gun, but, I just may actually hit one. LOL.....Mark, As I smoothbore shooter, I really enjoyed your video. However, I think you Pedersoli TG is likely to be a tack driver, even @ 25 yd., if you changed a few things. First, the tacks should be a different color or black so they'd be easier to see and second, I shoot from a rest or semi-rest (e.g., kneeling with right elbow on a shooting bench) to really "spank" those tacks. Lastly, a patched RB (~.600") although not historically correct, has been my most accurate combination in my trade gun (Green River Forge).
20 tacks on the board?? That would be wild to try!The problem is you put the tacks at the wrong are, should have put them were the balls were hitting; or maybe put 20 tacks on the board.
No, the targets were screws holding washers.Are they shooting at horse tack?
LOL don't see any smoothbore being considered a tack driver but then even a blind hog finds an acorn once in awhile.
I thought you may get a "kick" out of watching that one.....Thanks for the suggestion.That was awesome Mark. I was laughing my butt off the entire time. Truth be know I bet a lot of these smooth bore shooters are shooting the same way. There just saving there best targets for show. Thanks for doing that I enjoyed the entire video
110% agree...LOL...with enough shots any gun can be.![]()
If I can round up some .610's.... I may try this again. Regardless, I still love shooting the o' smoothbore.Mark, you could go to a .610 Rb and use a wad under dab of crisco ball and over wad and tackle those pesky tacks again.
off hand makes the best challenge I think.
Off hand shooting ain’t easy but I think the holes you put close mean you are going todo the deed pretty consistent in a short time.
like the effort!!
