HI,
This past hunting season, I was out with my TC 50 Renegade Flintlock
Hunting deer.
I came across a deer standing broadside at 219 yds. AS measured with my nikon rangefinder.
I had a very very steady rest. A large haybale and could hold on her (doe) quite steadily.
She stood...
1st off Yes I hunt to save money.
My wife, her dad, my dad, and I all hunt at a local farm for deer.
The farm is owned by a very good friend, who raises BEEF CATTLE and they grow there own feed for said BEEF CATTLE.
Well, the Deer on her farm 220 acres are eating all the feed for the...
Gambitt,
I am sure you will have an expirence you will never forget.
Prior to walking around at night at Gettysburg, check with someone up there. I am not sure if people are permitted on the battlefield area's after dark.
(the ghost tour lady said something about it, but I forget exactly...
GAMBITT 88
You said you were going to Gettysburg. GREAT CHOICE!
My wife and I went 2 years ago. BEST 3 day's Vacation I ever had.
I learned more in 3 day's then my entire school history classes combined.
I only live 3 hours West of Gettysburg and it was my first trip.
STRONG...
Ridgerunner,
I was watching the movie GETTYSBURG, which they say is as close to accurate as they could make it.
One of the caracters said in the movie:"Some of these guys go home with 7 or 8 bullets in the barrell and never fired a shot."
I know, I know, Its a movie.
Now my question...
sharps59 and Gambit88
I thought the same thing.
All my prayer's are with the family.
I purchased a CO2 unloader and once i got it home, found out it was for percussion, and I had to order the kit to use for a flinter.
WHICH I did right away.
I havnt had to use it yet. but It's nice...
You said "I filled my kitchen with smoke."
At first I giggled, then I thought to myself. Boy, I hope he was outside and the smoke drifted into his kitchen.
I am sure that's it.
The funniest thing I ever did was rebuild a transmission in the livingroom of my rental. :) Oil on carpet...
I would say 4 1/2 inches penitration.
Picture a 3 ring binder, the big ones. Tape two of them together. That's about how big both books were.
It made it deep into the second book and ripped the duct tape due to impact.
I really should have taken pics. But my dad and I had the range to...
At least here, It seems the gun dealers at the shows are mostly local gun dealers. And they are fair.
But, as Ohio gun guy said, "It's like any flee market. The price on the tag is an invitation for the ignorant, and a mere starting point for haggling for the more informed. "
If they price...
Well, I went to the range. Here are my results.
TC Renegade, 50 cal flintlock 1/48 twist
295 gr Powerbelt with 100 grains of ff and 4 dabs of ffff in the flash pan (same flint)
50 yds. 1800 pages of phone book, duct taped together--- In and out.
50 yds. with (2) two 1800 page phone...
I understand. I believe my problem is the flint to the frissen contact.
Sometimes I get it perfect and I am trouble free.
Most of the time it just isn't so. Close, but not perfect.
I had it perfect for 2 trips to the range. then it chipped. and I had to reset it and it just ain't...
Mykeal,
Sounds like from what I am reading, that to get the best ignition, Prime with ffff into the touch hole.
Ok, so now my other question, Can I do that with my Renegade? Is it safe? should I ?
My Renegade shoots most of the time. I know my flints are not the best and I really...
Have I said, " I have shot a phonebook at 100 yds with my reloads out of my 357 4" barrell" Yes.
did i lye.
No.
8" high at 100 yds. I can do it. consistantly.
Sound like bs.. Come to the range with me.
My buddie just bought a PA Pellet flintlock.
My question is Can he hunt the Flintlock season with this?
AS I read the pa hunting digest it reads to the effect that:
The gun must be a replica. Does the pellet count...
Huh, funny you have this post.
I was just thinking that I want to check penitration of my 50 cal at 50 yds, 100 yds and 150 yds...
I came up with the idea to use Identical Phone books. DRY Duct taped together.
Set one at 50 yds. shoot look at how deep the bullet goes. ie: Page 440...
I came VERY VERY close to shooting a dog in self defense about 1 month ago.
Walking my Super friendly dog in a public area. Marked " keep your dog on a 6 foot leash."
I was.
NUM NUTS let his dog run loose.
Num nuts dog runs towards us in a hurry. I yell. Dog keeps comin. BARKING as...
