Quote:That's pretty darned good shootin', hitting that small of a target at 200m. It must look like a fly from that distance.It took us 5 shots to hit it Dave ,,we had a blade fore sight & pendulem hausse rear sight fitted & a red marker stake to fire at with the piggie at the base,
the hardest part was the 1000 meter stroll to find the rounds fired & missed with :lol:
noone was more suprised than us when we did hit it, we usually fired at a 3,2,1, stack of 44 gallon drums, can still hear the cheer & that was 12 years ago now.
so back on topic you can get very good accuracy if you can keep all the variables as constant as one can but artillery ancient pregunpowder & pre 20th. cent smoothbores are usefull only at mass targets at anything past 100 meters in gereral terms . but HUGE Fun to play with :twisted:
