After went and got a couple of rabbits but loaded with shot.

One at 27 paces and one at 31 paces.

3/4oz of #7&1/2 shot works very well.

Good shooting. I always seem to remember historians and documentaries saying that the old muzzle loaders were inaccurate !! Not the case here , smooth bore too . Were you shooting off hand or with a support or rest ? 

Off hand mate.

Thanks.
