Shooting steel with my Remington 1858 revolver. Back yard CBA

[Sharpie443]

I’ve been shooting black powder revolvers for about a year and a half now and I’m just getting more and more into the sport. I take my Remington out just about every time I go to the range now. To save time and money I practice with my H&R .22lr revolver and then shoot with my Remington. I’ve gotten to the point where most days I can hit an 8” steel gong shooting one handed from 20 yards away about 5 out of 6 shots. I put up a video showing what I’m doing and how I’m training.

I plan on getting a London colt navy 1851 probably next month. My last colt navy did not shoot very well but I loved how it looked and felt.

I use old farm discs hung at 25 yds and 50 yds. The close one is quite a bit larger than your 8 inches at 20 yds. But then again, I try to put them through the hole 1.5 in hole in the center. (I can only do about 1 out of ten.)
