I know, I said March and here it is the end of April already... :idunno: Things been busy around here.
Well, to try and help make up for the delay I am going to do 3 shoots at once!
Rifles at 75 yards!
Smoothbores and smooth-rifles at 50 yards!
Pistols at 25 yards!
Pick yer poison. Any of these should test your skill. Or do 2 or 3 different guns and make a day of it.
Take 5 Shots at the center of a 8.5"x 11" sheet of typing/printer paper with an X drawn thru the center at 25 yards. If you miss, do not try again. Misses count!
Each shot will be measured from center of target to center of hole. These 5 measurements will be added together for your score.
One target entry per weapon per member.
5 shots per target, hit or miss.
Mutilated targets and targets with more than 5 holes will be disqualified.
No do-overs.
Only registered forum members may participate.
Only traditional, open iron sighted muzzleloading firearms (NO Cannons). Percussion or flintlock ignition. You can use a rifle, smoothbore, and/or pistol if you would like.
Smoothbore class has no rear sight above the plane of the barrel and a single trigger. Smooth-rifle can have rear sights and set triggers.
Single patched round ball only. No restrictions on caliber. (a patchless ball may be used if so desired)
Shots will be taken off-hand at the stated distance for each type firearm.(Standing or seated is allowed, elbows unsupported by anything other than the shooters torso)(In the event that a member is not physically able to hold his rifle up unsupported, a "prop-rod" that is supported only by the shooters torso, no part of which prop-rod may touch the ground, may be used to hold up the fore-end of the rifle)
Pistol shooters can use a two hand grip.
Only original targets will be accepted. No copies, faxes, scans, etc.
The center of the target will be determined by the judge.
Judges decisions are final.
Each contestant's score will be posted at the end of the contest.
Your member screen name and type of firearm used must be written on your targets.
