Fireball

[Shovelbuck]

I'd wanted to photograph my Colt Walker being fired in low light for quite awhile. Yesterday evening my son and I headed out to give it a go. Load was my normal 60 grains of FFF Goex with a .454 ball. It's not called a hand cannon for nothing! :way:

Impressive!!!!!!!

That's very cool!

That is crazy wild - and a cool picture to boot.

U'd kill something with that even with missing it- either give it a heart attack or cook it!

 

[Rjack]

Wow, that is indeed a fireball!

 

[Windwalker]

How about flame thrower?

 

[AZHunter]

That's awesome!

That is to cool! Does recoil bounce the hammer or is that just the pick timing?

I opened the shutter with the hammer back, I'm assuming that's what the camera captured. Self cocking would be bad.
