Turkey Shoot (Page 2): Thanks jaymatt. It is a fun event. There is a spirit of competition but it is really laid back and relaxing.

Black power is fun to fire, but a pain the ass to clear. Back in the early 1990s I had a Winchester Model 1876, had some ammo made up for the rifle. To clear the rifle I had to take the rifle totally apart, that was about three hours work. That put an end to any idea of me shooting black power firearms.

Delightful series....looks like everyone is have a fun time. I've participated in a few of these turkey shoots only with center fire rifles at longer distances. Nicely photographed, Stash!!

Black power is fun until you have to clear the firearm. 25 years back I had a Model 1876 Winchester. Get some ammo made up for the rifle. What a mess of a job of clearing that rifle. I had to take rifle apart to clear it. After

Takes me about an hour to clean my Revolutionary War Brown Bess whether I fire one time or fifty times. You're right about it being a pain.

Looks like a fun event and you got some great shots of it, Stash. The turkey won't walk away but can still fly.

Very nicely done! Transmits the flavor of the event very well. Glad I can't smell it, though--I am not fond of the odor of black powder. As another mentioned, rifled barrels changed marksmanship--so did introduction of percussion caps and smokeless powder. (I like the smell of most smokeless powder.)
