After I read all the replies, I gather that SOME of you like to see things get blown up and some of you like to see the "out takes". The first video is definitely an out take. You will see a tiny slice of my life dealing with one of the cats who apparently wanted to "help out" this morning, and informing the female half of the household that she was being recorded... which she doesn't like. Tough. She should have been quiet. Dunnow what she was doing, maybe trying to lift something heavy. You will also see a misfire, and then a hangfire and a miss. You can see the bullet impact in the dirt just above the target.
Second video was of me shooting my "Yellow Bird Gun" at a quart cream carton in the driveway at 30 yards. Fifty yard targets are more challenging, but harder for the viewers to see well until the "splosion". This was 30 grains of Pyrodex P under a .50 caliber PRB. 12 " barrel. Much better result this time.
Temperature outside was about forty degrees I'd guess, so T-shirt weather in Wisconsin. Most of the snow is gone, but as we are expecting a blizzard or at least a mini-blizzard today, it'll be back soon enough.
