Re: Black Powder-the Trad Archery of Guns
Thats about how my BP shooting went graps....
Something tells me them ol boys of old, fighting wars with them things didn't take the extra time or the careful precautions, and Id be willing to bet they wished they could be faster!
.....sure am glad we ain't fighting wars with them and can just enjoy!

Well, yeah...but remember they were armed with the same equipment. An Indian with a bow could outshoot a man with a flintlock 10 times over.

Re: Black Powder-the Trad Archery of Guns
A while back, I had promised some photos of my Rogers & Spencer. I was surprised to see an old post with pictures from Pissbucket still showing up. I will attempt to copy the post and paste it here, but don't be surprised if the images disappear as so many other have done. Here goes nothing...
Been wanting one of these for, well...a long time. Finally got the opportunity, and it turned out to be a pristine, unfired Euroarms version. Still haven't fired it yet. It's kinda like having an unopened comic book. But I know I can't hold out much longer; I get weaker every time I pack up for the range!

Waaa hooo!!!! Touch down Kirk!
Wow.....that is one seriously nice weapon! Does it and these others still shoot, or are they too precious to take that chance with?

Nothing I own can't be shot or I don't own it.
My problem is, with so many revolvers, they don't get shot often because it takes 1 hour+ to clean each one (the way I do it) so 3 guns=3 hours of cleaning and messing my wife's kitchen sink... ...which I don't dare do until after she's asleep.
So I generally tend to shoot one, maybe 2 guns on each outing. Plus I usually shoot the long gun.
(Yeah, I know...cry me a river, Captain...everyone should have such a problem)
But no; all of them are fully functional and shoot really well. The R&S and Starr are kind of special as they are obscure firearms not well-known to the GP and not a lot of replicas were made. I have lots of Colt and Remington replicas which I will share with you later. Glad these photos came through. It really pisses me off that PB has put some sort of code line in the image code that won't let anyone else see my old photos. I hate those bastards.
