[QUOTE="Flintlocksforme, post: 5771594, member: 20427"] 22 therapy, lots of it. At about 7 years old my dad rushed me into bigger calibers. I flinched at every thing. 22 therapy saved me as well as shooting a TC Seneca with 15-20 grains of powder to get my confidence back. 40 years later I needed 22 therapy again. I bench sighted and worked up loads for my .66 caliber flintlock smoothbore with 1 ounce round balls over charges of 80-120 grains 3F, 2F, even 1F. After about 25 shots I never got better than a 3-4 inch group. People watching me pointed out the anticipation flinch as my shoulder became sorer and sorer. I thought I had ruined myself. I got the .22 out after the bruises healed and returned to accurate form. I gave up finding a load for that gun and it is strictly a turkey gun with shot now. [/QUOTE]
