Lol those are small peaches, can I print it out on 11x17…JK

I noticed that also. When's national cantaloupe day? I'll have a punchers chance at that one.

Attached is my score of 35. Shot with 32 cal crocket is just built. Powder is 15 gr of 2f. Ball is .310 and patch is .15. Used moose milk for lube. Fun shoot may take some other guns up to shoot and miss a few peaches.

After I got to the range I figured I should of printed it that way. Maybe I should get a 5 point addition for level of difficulty and a 10 reduction for stupidity. My new score will be 30.

I wouldn’t be able to see it at 25 yds at that scale, good shooting really

There was a few shots that I shot where I thought the peach was. You can tell those by the ones that are not even close to the peach. It was fun though. I will give it another go next week with a correct target.

Well I sure ain't no target shooter but I'm not complaining. I'm Bill T and KD is a friend of mine who wanted a crack at it. (Both shot offhand)

Well I took the new trapper pistol out to shoot it in. Had 5 caps left at the end. Range was 50yrds off the bench. .50 cal .490 ball with pillow ticking 35gr 3f powder 3 in the stems one high one low I was happy. Need to drop the sights a little.

I'm seriously thinking about doing the postal shoot this month,I'm going to be a wimp and shoot from rest,my dang left shoulder is giving me fits, This getting old crap isn't much fun but it does beat the alternative I guess!!

You can shoot pistols at 15 yards OH or bench - don't make it more difficult!

Look forward to having you join us - it's all about having fun! Mark your target as Benchrest

just shot the peaches with the last 10 of my .30 balls.
time to find a mold or order some more. funky wind started up about half way through the shooting. that's my story and i am sticking to it! score of 55 i think.
used .30 rb
.005 patch lubed with 50/50 bear grease and bees wax.
25 gr of fffg swiss with 4f prime.
oh yeah! i forgot i was wearing my readers and was shocked to discover sights on the rifle! sorta made it easier to sight!
old timers moment, I forgot to say that i was shooting off a bench with elbows braced on the bench. my stander uppers don't work very well no more.

Don't sell yourself short! I see a leaf hit, that makes for 65!

 

[garypl]

@Thomas.bill92 is correct - that is a 65. I always review all the submitted targets when I tally the results and hopefully I would catch this at the end of the month!

 

[PK]

Thanks guys. I forgot about the leaf.
