Nice bird, congratulations.  :D isn't it amazing the guns our ancestors used to feed themselves still work.

Congratulations on the big bird! I'd hazard a guess that your Pedersoli is full choked, is it not? Very few if any original muzzleloaders were choked and that makes a world of difference in effective range. I suspect the plastic shotcup probably helped a bit too.

Thats cool. I am hoping to get a smoothbore BP gun before next season. I am leaning towards a Northwest Trade Gun.
