Cowboy Bullseye

I shoot in an informal bullseye league. We shoot 15 rounds at 7 yards, 15 rounds at 15 yards and 20 rounds at 25 yards in 15 minutes. we use a B27 reverse (white target).there's also a handicap system that more than keeps things fair. It's as much about fun as it is competition although bragging rights are coveted.
We have a few members (myself included) who like the chalange of shooting gun's you wouldn't normally associate with bullseye.IE the league before last I shot my SP101.
next league about 6 of us have decided to shoot cowboy guns.not that I need another single action but the range had a Uberti Bisley in 38-40 well I have 38-40s that I shoot CAS with, so I'm set up to reload and this is more than enough excuse for me. so after some haggeling home goes the Bisley.
here it is

well this is the range report section so here goes.
I have a full box of Black hills factorys and a partial box of my reloads I figure I had 35 rounds to see how this thing was gonna do and leave me 25 rounds of each for league. So I plan 10,10 and 15 rounds at the forementioned ranges. Load 1, skip 1, load 4, full cock, drop the hammer on the empty chamber. I figure it's a Bisley so I'm gonna one hand it bullseye style (which BTW the Bisley grip is better suited for) I run the target to 7 yards and procede to put 5 rounds in the bullseye centered left to right and seam to be about right up and down.The trigger pull is about 3# and glass breaking crisp.
I load 5 more and same results.Moving to 15 yards I have a little trouble with trigger controll but nothing leaves the 10 ring.When I get to 25 I realize this things shooting POA perfectly ( well maybe a touch high) but If I can get a hang of the trigger It's capable of putting them in the 10 ring all night.Anyway I think the guys are in for a surprise.
