Finally got it done. One of those rare days where the ball mostly goes where it's pointed. This one was a tough one, but a good one - I like a challenge. I'll drop it in the mail before the weekend.

Close - it is a Scout, .45 caliber.

Nice! I shoot the full length Pennsylvania, she holds wonderfully well but with the straight barrel it becomes tiring to do so after 30 or 40 shots. I have a Kibler SMR in .40 on the way which should be a bit better in that regard.

April Final Results​

Wow, we had 13 shooters participate in the April shoot! 12 Rifle and 2 Pistol targets were sent in. We had great participation this month! We had one new member Winchester97 joined us this month. Welcome Winchester97! I would like to see interest and participation continue to grow.

I asked shooters to post a picture of their target to the forum if they wanted to. However, it still needed to be mailed in to be included here in the final results. We had a tie for first place and tie for second with third place almost making it a three way tie for second. But shot placement being the deciding factor. Great shooting guys! I think I’m making these targets too easy.

We had two pistol shooters with top honors going to J dirt.
