So, as long as the minions are standing side by side and you shoot in between them you'll eventually hit at least one of them, right?

I have a .58 caliber Zouave rifle hanging over my bed but have never fired it. It's a percussion lock and I bought all the "stuff" needed to fire it. That sure looks like fun! Maybe one of these days............

If it's still in good shape, give it a try. Black powder is a blast to shoot. Literally.

I just got an email blast from Graf and Sons about the Black Powder sale.
I have an old 1864 Springfield Bannerman Shot gun conversion and a 1851 Colt (ca 1860) in .36

I am thinking about Black Powder and NOT the substitute stuff.

Graf & Sons - Graf Black Powder

That's a gorgeous Charleville, sir! My dream smoke pole is a converted 1816 Springfield...

Buck n Ball, baby

Haven't used Graf's powder. How is it? $13 is about the best you can do for 1F - 3F these days (ugh). If they have a sale on caps, skip CCI and go with RWS

I'm just going to leave this here....

Great looking smoke pole and nice range. Reminds me of Greenwood Gun Club.
