Had a chance to shoot my Trap Door one day last summer. We were having an unusual CAS match, we had some stages set up for our single shot rifles.
This was a Black Powder only match, and all the Trapdoors and Sharps and High Walls came out.
I had a blast, fully loaded BP 45-70 cartridges with 405 grain bullets.I surprised myself how many targets I was able to hit.
Morning Mr. Driftwood
