John Pruitt first round

[victor#0]

My son finally got to try out his John Pruitt Smoothbore, needs to tighten up the grouping some before spring bear but a few more practice sessions should do it.

Tighten his group????? Dang but that’s a good group right there.

First shot was to the right but the rest were centered so I'd say he's ready to roll. Using 80 grs. 2f, over powder card, pre lubed wad, .010 patch, .600 ball.

Not sure why he did it that way, it's different but works. He offered to build it for my son for next to nothing so he could get started shooting a smoothbore flintlock. We'll be heading out tomorrow to look for that black animal....................

What was the shot distance to target? Looks like a real happy kid!

 

[victor#0]

About 30 yds, thats the distance from our blind to the bait barrel. After spring bear we'll start moving the target farther out as well as pattern it with shot. After shooting his smoothbore for the first time he said it was the most fun he's ever had shooting, I think he's hooked ;0)
