Thanks, guys.

I did in fact hit what I was aiming at... the manure heap at the other end of the barn.... I swear that fly will never father another.... :)

My friend used to have a 50 and 100 yard range set up in the field across the road.  Since last spring, due to several lawyers, a judge, and a now
ex-wife, he no longer has that field.  He has promised me that the targets will be re-installed on his side of the road by the time I visit again in November, at which point I can actually do something about regulating the sights.

And yes, Rob, I did make the powder horn.  The cow came from somewhere in the US, the wood for the spout and base plug are apple wood that has been seasoning quietly in my shop for over ten years since my neighbor cut it down.. I only got a few chunks from him as the silly bugger had already burnt the most part of it. :loco:

Cheers, Joe
