April 2022 Postal Match

[BradCayton]

Doubleset, I liked your target and printed it off. Hopefully Fly103 gives the ok to use it.
Thanks!

 

[Omahkapi'si]

I'm ok with anybody coloring them, the whole point of the contest is to get us out shooting.

 

[deerstalkert]

absolutely Ok with the coloring. i couldn't shoot them without color.

 

[sportster73hp]

I have never shot this match. Am i to understand it is printed on an 8x10 piece of paper?

 

[deerstalkert]

yep! how many printed and spliced together to get something big enough has never been addressed as far as i know! that is why i am going to do mine poster size this month!
this may be the last i attempt. I have been having bouts with MS and losing in the first round. my eyes are going fast.

 

[Richard Dittman]

I shot the March target but forgot to send it in. I just printed the April target and will make sure I send it in.

 

[deerstalkert]

shot it today. 35* and snowing off and on.
started out great. finished terrible! try as i might the last three shots went to the same place. i started on the bottom and went up
must have been mad at the top right buff. he got the worst of it!

 

[Fly103]

Color away guys, no problem at all kinda neat to see the creativity! maybe I need to take a poll and see how many have color printers and can print colorized targets?

[deerstalkert]

well Chris, i for one have a color printer. Now i just need to figure out how to print my target with realistic holes dead center of each score ring!

 

[Omahkapi'si]

Might do mine in pastels or charcoal....

Take a picture of a real hole, then just copy and paste it into the new target. You might want copies of several real holes so that when you paste them into targets nobody notices that they're all identical. Somebody might catch on. Maybe we should add a category for "Best Fake Target". But probably you're like me, and it's a lot simpler and faster just to fire bad shots into the paper target.

On to something here guys. I probably won't get to shoot the target till Saturday the 30th. But maybe that will give me time to learn how to place my shots competitively. who knows, might take second or third.

Please, everyone post your targets as soon as you shoot them ! I need to know what to aim for !!

Good times, and God Bless us all, Eric

 

[deerstalkert]

aim for that rectangular white blur out there at the end of vision!

Um ... that could be a Holstein.

 

[Omahkapi'si]

Will shoot mine this weekend with the new flintlock.

 

[deerstalkert]

Um ... that could be a Holstein.

not in this country! Black Angus or Limousin! a few have Herefords but we tolerate them anyway!

though it might be a snowshoe hare.

Greetings all,
I return to the shooter shack hat in hand and humbled. I initially saw bison target and smiled a confident smirk... But as the blackpowder is known to do occasionally it humbled and reminds me to be consistent, so I consistently shot poorly . It was still fun and if any consulation anything on the 8x11 paper would be in the Buffs vitals most likely. Here I give you 1 dead, 2 poorly wounded and 1 gets away unscathed buffalo target

. Till next month praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!!

Sorry to hear you met your demise with enraged wounded buffalo. We’ll see that your black powder gets a good home. It’s the least we can do.

You are a true gentleman. Not only is there one unharmed buffalo still roaming the range, but you have proven that cheating is never in your nature.

My faith in humanity is restored.

Well sir I would have to say, to print and reshoot such an event would surely be simple. Yet if we have no honor when no ones looking, we have none at all.
No different than live match I say ya won when ya showed up.
