Do any of you all use the “RB ballistics calculator” pinned above?
Have you found it effective? Useful?

Howdy guys. Thanks for the recognition. I’m trying to get back out but between the temperatures, humidity and wind it’s been difficult. In a few days the winds are supposed to die down a bit and I’ll  give it a shot. Who knows maybe the wind will help my shot. It’s obvious that calm days certainly haven’t helped.

It was a very uplifting experience indeed.
 Now I think I will try my smoothbore again just not with 100 grains .

Full report, see revolutionary challenge.  :yessir:
 Seriously the new correct size help up for 20 shots, only loosing a small chip on the corner. No knapping. I'll keep using it till it fails.
  Much better than the 3/4 FA flints, although they sparked well they just were to small and fragile to handle this lock.

Good job, Kevin!!!
If at first you do not succeed, try, try and try again, until you finally wear out the rock.
Proud of you, lad.

 I took up my position hiding behind my truck, way behind.
  I go to this particular sand pit early and usually have it to myself for awhile.
  Anyways loaded up and after two FITP  and a WTF .
 I figure that out and decided today I'm not doing the hold forever thing .
 When I settled in it felt right and I touched ol ginger off and it was good .
  Using the correct size rock made a big difference.

 I will always keep trying. Just now I can shoot at it more than once.
 Good practice.
 Keep it up, we need more fellas in the ranks.

HOLY BEEJEEBERS, KEVIN DID IT IN SPADES!!!!!  Kevin, how do I turn off the lead repellent force field? Geez, Louise, THAT is quite a shot and Captains Morgan and Cresap have put you in for a field promotion to Lieutenant! Seriously, that is spectacular. If I ever shoot one like that I will rent a highway signboard so everyone sees it. One more thing, pm me your mailing address so your "certificate" redeemable for some Sam Adams celebratory libation can be mailed. WOW.   :hairy  :bow  :toast  :applaud
