First shot card

Yesterday was the first time I managed to get to the range to shoot the Mortimer muzzle-loading percussion pistol. Using the load details blogged previously, I shot a single card at 25m using an NSRA UIT Precision Pistol Target [PL7].
 


The final score was 83 ex 100 [17 off], with a reasonable group just high of center. The point of aim was at 6 o'clock, just below the black. Later on I might adjust the windage by drifting the foresight to the right.
 
In competitions the detail duration is 30 minutes, with the best 10 shots scoring from 13 shots fired. 50% of shot hole to be over the line for the higher score to count [hence only two x 10 scores and not three as hoped for]. This is to allow for different calibres being shot.
