Sorry I let November get away from me without posting a new contest. Here's an extra challenging one to make up for it. :haha:
The object is to "decorate" the Christmas tree with roundballs.
The target is a tough one!
Fold a sheet of 8.5x11" printer paper in half lengthwise, then fold it lengthwise again. Then unfold it and fold it top to bottom. You can then use the creases to draw your target. Or... you could just measure with a ruler.
Draw your target by starting at the center and drawing a triangle that goes down to each of the 1/4-page creases at the bottom. Then section it off an inch apart starting at the top of the "tree".
Your target should end up looking like this;
Take 5 shots, offhand, at 25 yards.
The scoring "rings" are numbered in the example target. Any shot that hits with the center of the ball outside of the "tree", or off the edge of the paper, will score a zero.
High score wins!
One target entry 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, matchlock or wheel lock ignition.
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.(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)
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 must be written on your targets.
Mail your target postmarked by January 2, 2017 to;

Jethro writed; Judges decisions are final. Judges, as writed, is plural, meanin more than one JUDGE. If writed as Judges' decisions etc, would mean the DECISION of the JUDGE, one of them. We all knows Jethro is THE JUDGE, So Jethro be a displayin what docs call duel personality, bein one guy, thinkin he's two guys. :hmm: Hmmmm. We best git him t' slow down a bit and not strain the gray head inerds.:nono: Or, perty soon he be makin three o' more targets, and a fergitin what he already done did make as a contest.
