Spring time, time to burn some powder! - Stephen Borud - 04-10-2016 I and two of my boys burned some powder this morning at the base of the mountain. This was Kalebs first time shooting the 50 1 3/4" Sharps, he did great! We were shooting at a steel plate around 4" diameter at 50 yards. Cody my seven year old had fun shooting a couple 22 pistols and watching us shoot my Springfield 1911. We ran 26 paper patch rounds threw the Sharps without any cleaning, or blowing, it was a nice cool morning. No loss of accuracy that I could tell. I picked up a couple of the cards and paper from the bullet, all looks like it's suppose too. The card showed no disfiguring, this would of been the lower card below the lube, I could tell by the the black powder impregnation. It was a nice morning. Stephen RE: Spring time, time to burn some powder! - Don McDowell - 04-10-2016 What a great morning indeed Thanks for sharing the memory with us Stephen RE: Spring time, time to burn some powder! - Stephen Borud - 04-10-2016 You are very welcome Don! I showed both boys the care and cleaning of my guns when we were done. Like my dad always said, patches and oil are cheap! Stephen RE: Spring time, time to burn some powder! - JReed - 04-13-2016 Nice! It's always more fun when the young ones can share it with you isn't it? RE: Spring time, time to burn some powder! - Stephen Borud - 04-14-2016 It's the best for sure! Never a waste of time or money taking kids out shooting. Stephen
