Any of you here on the forum shoot BPCR (Black Powder Cartridge Rifles), you know, like the Sharps in Quigley Down Under ?
That is one of my other hobbies, but haven't shot in a couple years since I had a shoulder operation. I should start again.
Don't let the black powder fool you. They are very accurate and the furthest I have shot with mine is 1000 yards.
Here are a couple of my rifles, cartridges and a 5 shot, 200 yard target shot with iron sights. Soule sights to be exact. They are aperture sights, adjustable for windage and elevation. The front is a hooded, spirit level aperture sight.
By the way, I came in 2nd place with that group.
The 2 in the middle aren't done yet. I do my own wood finishing. They come roughed in from the shaper and inletted. It saves $500.00 per gun to do the finishing. Some of mine are take down, with interchangeable barrels.
The top gun in the first picture is the one that I should the group with. Prone of cross sticks. Just like the old timers did it !
