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.

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! Smile

Nice! It's always more fun when the young ones can share it with you isn't it?

It's the best for sure! Never a waste of time or money taking kids out shooting.
