What real black powder looks like

[William]

I took this pic last year at a black powder only shooting match and thought I'd share it with the group here.  I call it "Powder blast in the morning".  He is shooting a '58 Remington I believe.

Cool!

Imagine what it was like in an old Dodge City saloon.  After the first shot nobody knew where anybody was and the black powder concussion made them not care!

Indeed!  After the first shot your adversary knew exactly where you were due to the smoke cloud.

Smoking (as in being smoked) is hazardous to your health!

Funny, but I was shooting at the range a few weeks ago when a couple guys settled on the next bench with nice, scoped .22LRs.  Every time I'd fire it would result in a fit of coughing from them.  While I'm not known as an "evil" person exactly (I've always enjoyed hurting people and my avocation & later vocation made it possible for me to do this on a daily basis, but I digress), I thoroughly enjoyed "smoking" my neighbors.  Being half blood Scrawnee, this is a sacred act as well.
