Nice job Devin. Great looking weps as well!

The rounds up and down are called vertical stringing. That is caused by breath control. Breathing up and down causes the rounds to string up and down.

1- sight picture
2- sight alignment
3- breath breath all the way out and hold - fire within 3 seconds.
4- trigger - take up the slack, maintain sight picture/alignment - break
5 -follow thru. Finger remains on the trigger until you have reacquired your sight picture.

If I can get a few nice days I am going to try and get to the range for some target shooting.

Not for black powder Tim. Can shoot the shotgun at an indoor range if I use slugs.

That it does Tim. And some of the people that only go to indoor ranges complain about smoke produced.

If only they knew how much lead particulate they are inhaling in an indoor range from their simple smokeless cartridges. Lead is everywhere.

Not until they get older and have brittle bones.

Thats when they might realize it. I know I deal with lead everytime I make live rounds for my muskets.

Ah, thanks! I'll have to keep that in mind for next time. I definitely need to get a 1911!!
