April 2022 Postal Match

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?

Chris

I do have a color printer but am very limited on print ability. Thankfully my wife helps her dumb man.
I'll try to get the target shot this weekend

 

[Omahkapi'si]

Might go buffalo hunting tomorrow.

 

[BradCayton]

Well I was able to shoot the target Doubleset shared. It was much easier to see but it doesn't seem to have made a huge difference in my shooting, but it was fun.

That's pretty good shooting, BC!

 

[Omahkapi'si]

Shot another target today, second time shooting a flintlock....will tackle the buffalo on Sunday morning.

How are you liking your new Flint setup ranchroper? Really looking foward to seeing your target this month!

Wind is blowing accross the range a 40 miles an hour yet again today...... think more of my powder would end up in the next county than down the barrel!

the flintlock is growing on me. It’s different that’s for sure.

 

[Andrewmtnman]

I was impressed with the accuracy of this little rifle. It’s way more accurate than I can shoot offhand

 

[flinter1977]

Shot mine yesterday in the mail tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great Easter.

 

[deerstalkert]

just a shout out to Chris aka Fly103. thanks for the confirming email response! never know if i am sending something intelligible!
thanks for your work Chris! and happy Easter.

 

[Omahkapi'si]

Here it is. Not great but I have to cut myself some slack, 3rd time I’ve ever shot a flintlock. Happy to get on paper 25 yds off hand. Will email this week.

 

[deerstalkert]

you put the wrist rap back on!

 

[Omahkapi'si]

Yes I like the feel of it.

 

[Silent Walker]

I've had some physical problems as of late... I'll try and get out to shoot this.

 

[BradCayton]

I emailed my target to you Chris.
Thanks again

Target in the mail.
.45 flint rifle, 40 gr of Goex 3F with .440 ball and a .020 patch.

 

[Maven]

You'll have plenty of "meat" with shooting like that, nessmuk!

 

[Surrywoodman]

For sure, that's what I'm talkin' about

 

[11th corps]

I shot my smoothbore trade gun.
.600 round ball
60 grains of FFF
Pillow Tick patch, lubed with bore butter.
I landed all 8 shots on paper, but did not score.
So I'm out this month.
Hope to do better next month.

Here is my attempt for April. Nothing stellar here but I had a great time. My printer was running out of ink so when I printed it was lighter than it looks in the photo, and I hate to admit it, but I had my small binoculars out and studied the target at 25 yds for a few minutes before making the shots so that I would have a decent reference point. After the first couple of shots I could see the holes without the binoculars so I went from there. Only 7 shots actually made paper though. Enjoy.
