After I'd finished my COF at 25 & 50 yards with my 10 ga. Pedersoli SxS at the local Club's BP Match yesterday, I coached the Boy we got the rifle for while he was shooting the Hawken from 100 yards. When it was all over, I said to the Match Chairman I wanted to try to hit the target with my Smoothie from 100 yards away :shocked2: . He laughed and then he said go ahead and try, so I did :haha: ! Ended up guestimating the additional drop of the .715 round ball based upon the POA I used at 50 yards just a little earlier in the Match. Aimed about 6" over the entire target frame and lobbed one into the 5-ring :shocked2: ! So then I said how about that and he said "bet you can't do that again!". So I loaded her up again and raised the barrel a little more than the first time and lobbed the second one into the 6-ring :shocked2: !
Everybody just shook their heads as I was packing-up my stuff for the day, and the League Chairman grabbed my target with the two huge holes in it and signed & dated it to prove that I did it :grin: .
I didn't win the pistol match yesterday, but I did bring back something to talk about! Probably couldn't do THAT again if you PAID ME! :rotf: :haha:
Them BIG HOLES are easy to see :haha:
