:-D sitting here at work wondering if anybody else takes their frontstuffers out to just plink. i love taking my 11 yr old twins to the range with my 32 cal & 45 cal just to have fun.good quality time with them. my daughter loves it. she says when she gets older the 32 is hers, but what she don't know is. that it is already.thanks for reading.

ps the next time you see a police officer thank him or her for the job they do.

Sure do, that is one of the reasons to own them.

Believe it or not I plink with my .58 more than my .45. I cast my own balls, so it is cheap enough.

I love doin that and it's usually with a .50 or .54 and some light loads. In CO we can easily get on a piece of BLM or Natl Forest land with nobody around for miles. Pick a rock, pinecone, tree limb, whatever. I think it's the best practice there is for hunting. It must work for me cause I always do better on trail walks than paper. :grin:

I do a lot of "rock killin" with my ML's. It's as apt to be a 36 as a 54, or a C&B revolver or pistol. I gots lots of rocks to kill here in these hills!

Being that I now live out in the boonies so to speak I do a lot of plinking whenever I get the chance to do so. Last week we had a little bit of a warm spell so I managed to burn a lot of powder shooting at some targets off hand at 50 and 100 yards. Lots of fun............stay safe...King

Plinking,

At my age and still teaching jr. high 8th graders - plinking is mandatory... It releives all the stress in the world. And it so much more fun plinking with a muzzleloader vs a centerfire... My biggest regret is that someone did not show me the way of the muzzleloader eeons ago....

I still enjoy shooting targets, but i really enjoy breaking rocks at various ranges in the local rock pit, or setting up clay pigeons and breaking those.

Loading and shooting on my own time - what a great form of recreation....

Some of my most relaxing days at the range are spent with my 32 and 50 cal muzzle loaders. It slows you down and takes you back in time.

Here's another plinker.

Yup...one thing about BP shooting is that it is slow and civilized!

A great stress reliever...and the smell, just like rosesl! Ahhhhh! :lol:

It's all about the smell! :-D
Chris, is that your picture, or Paul Simon having a bad hair day?

Dispatch,
I'm new to this ML stuff, but not to twins. My boys are now 20. Both juniors in college. They have always love to plink, whether it's with a bow or gun.

I wish that was me Ramrod...but that photo is Delmar from the movie O' Brother Where Art Thou.

Heck, I'm so ugly I have to tie a pork chop around my neck to get the dogs to play with me! :cry:
