Howdy howdy, THR.
So, I had a small chuckle today. I normally shoot trap with an 870 Express. I often get some looks from the "by the book" guys shooting high dollar over/under and single shot break actions. They don't like "punk kids" like me shooting my "loud ammo." (Side note...I once had a guy complain to the RSO that my ammo was too loud. I was shooting 3 dram federals at the time. Factory ammo. teehee.) (Second side note: I may be a kid, but I'm no punk.)
So, after shooting my 1858 remington today, and seeing it throw enormous clouds of smoke, I happened to think of all the commotion it would cause among all the stodgy old codgers at the range if I were ever to light off a BP shotgun on the trap field.
Now, don't get me wrong, I have no intent of doing such a thing. I don't even have a BP longarm. I'm aware it would probably be a fairly rude thing to do. But the thought of their reactions makes me chuckle.
Anyone ever shot any of the various shotgun games with a blackpowder firearm?
