That"s mighty fine shooting...wondering if you had a scope or used a tang sight?

74 year old eyes....no scope, I did use a tight pull back hold to counter the hammer blow, and I rang the barrel and rested it 4 inches from the muzzle in the dead spot.
I use rest cross sticks to let the gun recoil straight back. then I hope I hit something.

the load was 62 2f, but I'm going to try 67 1 1/2 Swiss a veggie wad with 1/16 compress and two paper wads under the bullet.
I'll post the results in a couple of weeks...
