That looks pretty. I can't wait to see it all finished and delivered to me in time for Christmas.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Time for a range report.........

The Big Lisa shoots for the first time!

I pulled the first two off the circle but settled in on these last three with the last two in the same hole @ 30yards. Ill back out and zero it in at around 50-60

This is with the Colerain 58 caliber gain twist barrel and Im shooting a .575 conical with a hollow base pure lead weighing 500 grains greased with bear fat and bees wax.

Im Happy!

This rifle will be going to South Africa with me in August.  I have found a solid base bullet that weighs 625 grains and is dead on at 50 yards. I've got a few months to get ready for the trip but everything looks good for now. Looking to do some plains game with it and maybe a Cape buffalo next trip.

Not sure about the game/weapons laws over there, but have a back up! I undedtand the Cape Buffalo can be pretty ornery!  I like the .58 cal!
