Now that our Traditions Hawken is built, and we have a shooting pouch to carry our tools and a powder horn to carry our powder, it's time to head to the range for some fun. This is the muzzle loading cross over event of the year as we bring all of our winter projects together for some fun at the range.
NMLRA Member and craftsman Peter Wygant is a top contributor to the NMLRA facebook group. Peter often shares photos of his builds like this shooting box (Right) that he donates for NMLRA fundraising efforts.
We’re happy to see posts like this one though, where Peter gets some muzzleloaders out to have some fun shooting blackpowder.
“Going to try to shoot this little beauty tomorrow.....14 gauge David Lloyd of Broad Street, London....Has London proofs and LL marked on the bottom of the barrels...Was hoping for CL, don’t know who LL is. Very light weight, can only handle 3/4 oz of shot and 2 drams of powder in her.....13/16 is the best round of skeet so far with it.....”
“Well I hit 12 out of 16, not a stellar performance but I’ll have to take it. All cleaned and put away....”
