Drove from Founder's Ranch to OKC today, spending a couple of nights with my daughter, son in law, and grandkids.
120 cap and ball rounds downrange, no misfires, no hangfires, no cap jams, NO MISSES! Walker, Army and Navy. When I finished the last stage, I walked to the unloading table, pulled my Navy from it's holster, and when I pulled the hammer to half cock, a spent cap fell off the nipple and jammed it. Talk about perfect timing for a cap jam.
A few less than 120 .44-40 rounds downrange through my new '60 Henry, no misfires, no hangfires, NO MISSES.
And a mixture of about 75 10 gauge, 12 gauge, and 16 gauge shotshells downrange, no misfires, no hangfires, NO MISSES.
Yup, my first End of Trail, and my first ever clean match. And out of 522 registered shooters, I came in 495th.
But damn, did I have fun doing it. Video will arrive after I get home in a couple of days.
Oh yeah, I sent 30 .45-70 rounds downrange through a Gatlin gun. If I'da had a million dollars to spend on cartridges, I'd still be sittin' there crankin' them off. What a rush that was.
