All you have to do is ask!  Seriously folks, I suspect that William just wants the chance to point out that he shot my new fowler better than I did.  So I'll steal his thunder and tell the story myself.  I fired the first two shots from a makeshift bench and landed them near each other but about 5" low.  William stands up on his hind legs and puts his shot dead center of the bullseye.  Not to be outdone I stood up for my next one and put the ball....about 5" low.  At least I'm consistent.  A work crew showed up on the place so we had to quit shooting before I could be totally humiliated.  I did fire one more round, this one with shot to see how it would do.  Peppered the target nicely.  But a tad low.

He's being modest folks, I didn't even load it, just primed and snapped off a shot.  Begginers luck, that's all.
