August 19 is National Potato Day!
I love potatoes and jumped at the chance to celebrate National potato Day this month.The usual three categories: rifle, smoothbore, (smoothbore must not be equipped with rear sight - front sight/bead only) or handgun
Two ways to shoot: Offhand from 25 yards with rifle or smoothbore or 15 yards with handgun.
Bench rest/supported from 25 yards with rifle or smoothbore or 15 yards with handgun
Mark the box on your targets as either rifle or smoothbore or handgun and either offhand or benchrest/supported.
I've been receiving questions on how to participate in this monthly contest. For new participants, download the pdf file at the bottom of this post and print it full size. Post your target by taking a picture of it with the information filled in and scored by you and post it back to this thread.
5 shots for score
Hit the potato bullseye for 10 points. Hits in the rest of the spud count 5 points. Shoot 3 shots into the left potato and 2 shots into the right potato. Take ONE bonus shot at the french fry and if you hit it with the ball halfway into the fry you get 10 bonus points.
Ball must be half way into the target area to score points. Maximum score is 50 pts + 10 bonus points = 60 points.
Shoot as many times as you wish but please only post one target per category with pictures of target (and gear, if possible - we love to see everyone's equipment and load data!) Post jpg or pdf formats. Please score your own targets and write your score on the target along with information on the load you used and other info including rifle/pistol or smoothbore, bench or supported. If you do not check the boxes I won't know where to post your scores. I will check scores and it helps me if you will draw a line to each hole in the target and write your points for each shot - makes it easier for me to check the targets.
Prize is same as always - bragging rights on the forum!
I will be posting July results later this week.
Have fun!
Gary
