      #316 - 01/01/03 04:04 PM

I was at a game fair and some fella`s had this 4 bore shooting clays for a buck a shot well i jumped at the chance and paid up and smoked my bird ---happy about it too as there were a few watchers cheering the misses.I only posted this today on a friends site and thought you guys would be interested.All i know is it is a four bore with a 1/4 pound of shot in her (4 oz) and a bloody long barrel too.

Gryphon,

Well done, one hell of a long barrel wasn't too difficult to point and shoot ?

Gryphon

So my guess is with a quarter pound of shot if you centred the pattern you "smoked it".

She looks very similar to a Long Land musket.
