Complete Turnip!


Recommended Posts

 

 

 

Some one switched my head for a turnip this weekend!

Yesterday when I got out it decided to open the floodgates of the heavens on me!

I spent most the time sheltering.

I never did get a shot and boy am I glad!

On the way home I noticed I had plugged the barrel with earth

How I did it I have no idea!

 

Today it got better! The turnip still was not working!

 

After getting this squirrel.

I sent my wads down without powder first.

Talk about dumb!

 

I had to tare the gun down, remove the liner and get some powder in the breech to shoot the wadding out!

Hooray for screwed liners and patent breeches.

 

That done I still came home empty handed but I do still have all my fingers and I succeeded in keeping this gun shooting in the field

 

So there you have it, a turnip brain can use muzzleloaders!
