Lancaster Flintlock at 100 yards

Posted on by

I took 2 shots yesterday with my Lancaster Flintlock. One at 50 yards… see the left hole. The second shot at 100 yards hole at right after some minor sight adjustment with a tap from my hammer. I determined in a previous outing that the bullet rises in its parabolic trajectory out at 50 yards and drops at 100 yards. At 100 yards the point of aim is equal to the 25 yard point of aim. I am pleased with these shots from open sights. If this were a deer’s vitals, I be skinning by now.

Good Shooting!
