New shooter and the side match

[rdstrain49]

I discovered NCOWS last year and immediately liked the concept.  All was good until I find out that there are some clubs that have side matches for Buff Guns.  I haven’t shot my Sharps for quite some time.  Since I shoot a black powder class, it only seems logical that I should shoot bp in the Sharps.  After just two days of load development I think I’m ready for the next side match.

The pic. shows the first few shots (high left) and the last three shot group (center).  Testing was done at 100 yards with iron sights.  The final group measured just .367" center to center.  I may be old, but I'm not dead yet.
