Shot my Spencer in a 2 day match...
« on: August 22, 2015, 02:05:21 PM »
Armi-sport .56-.50, black powder, big boolits...
Double Duelist style with the pistols...
TTN hammer shotgun...
26 shooters...

I shot the Spencer for the first 5 stages, then switched to an 1866 38-40 for the last 5 stages the next day. I was expecting to place in the bottom three or so, but managed 16th out of 26.  :)

Then I thought I'd try it in the long range match...
It took 19 shots to land one on the 400 yard plate. :D
After a few elevation adjustments, I was right there - "A foot left", "a little bit right", "just over the top", "just missed the left edge", "right below it"...
It would have been an easy 5/5 with my Sharps, but where's the fun in that?  ;D
