had our muzzle loader day
had 17 youth
I had around 1400 balls cast that is a 30 cal ammo can mostly full about 34 pounds of lead

the kids sent about 820 down range or 20 pounds of lead

we were guessing that is probably more rounds than some skirmishes in the American Revolution .

the kids got some practice in then before we started their scored targets they participated in a volley.

shoulder arms , ready , take sight , FIRE and the line erupts in a cloud of smoke and they are all grinning.

they got a bunch of learning in and the fun.

that would be 48 rounds a kid I am sure a few hit 50 and some were only 40.

yes I have video , no I can't post it cause well remember that discussion about kids photos from earlier this week.

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

That had to be a "BLAST" !! That had to be one heck of a fun day for those youngsters. Great going for you and everyone who helped put that together.
