AUGUST MATCH-Back To The Basics

[Silky921]

Smoothbores are special on a whole different level that is tough to describe. I used my fowler on the first match but it just wasn't my day.

Then I picked up a 36 cal Lehigh rifle that I've fell in love with, so I shoot that every chance I get.

Im glad you guys are enjoying it! I am actually having fun pitting them on so I will definitely keep them coming as long as I am able!

 

[Adui]

Nessmuk, your target arrived! I more than likely wont make the October rondy you sent, but Im going to plan for and budgetto go to the Mazazal rondy in November.

I got mine in the mail Monday. First time doing this. What is the most common caliber used?

 

[Dave Marsh]

I usually use a 58 caliber hence my handle however on occasion I use the 32 SMR. The 58 is my hunting rifle and I like a lot of practice with it. :thumbsup:

[Silky921]

I have used my 36, 28 gauge fowler, and 45 caliber. Kind of just depends on what the mood is.

 

[Adui]

Mike I havent really tracked caliber use, but were I to guess Id say all of the above!

I've gotten at least one .32, and a few .36 or .40's and some 54's and of course the 58.

Mine will be in the mail today with two extra 22 caliber holes from the grandsons who thought shooting my target would be fun. Oh well, it is what it is.

 

[Adui]

Did they out shoot Grandpa?? :grin:

What caliber did you use so I know what to expect?

 

[Kansas Jake]

No they didn't outshoot grandpa and I was using a 50 caliber Traditions that I dug out of the gun cabinet. I hadn't fired it in a year or two and then only a few rounds. I just wanted to see what it would do. It was a cheapie that I picked up at a local gun shop. It had some minor barrel rust, but cleaned up pretty well.

 

[Adui]

:thumbsup: Nice!!

 

[Adui]

Mike Muzzle, your target has arrived!

 

[Adui]

What model of Traditions do you have?

 

[Kansas Jake]

It looks like the typical “Hawken” made by everyone without a patch box. No model name on it and made in Spain.

 

[Adui]

Cool. I have the Hawken woodsman in lefty percussion. I love mine!

 

[Adui]

58 Caliber, your target arrived. Thank you for shooting!

 

[Adui]

Kansas jake, your target has arrived! You are on the scoreboard.Thanks for shooting sir!

 

[Adui]

Never fear folks!! I will have the September contest to Zonie for posting Saturday. End of the month snuck up on me!

 

[Silky921]

We should do a holiday themed one this fall. Something like pumpkin or turkey targets maybe.
