You can add color to the target for contrast. We aren’t allowed multiple targets. It’s a one target shoot.
Hmm....... I missed that in the fine print. Dang!
HI well mine fell apart from being damp..next time i think stronger paper.

Fine print or no print? The December instructions were rather brief. My fault, I assumed shooters have been following and participating for the last several months. I will try to improve to add clarity in the future.Hmm....... I missed that in the fine print. Dang!

I shot the pistol challenge on this target Friday. In the snow, about 35 degrees. I used my Ruger Old Army-I have two of these -
I had lots of misfires. Using 777. More then I can ever recall with this revolver. I may not bother to turn in my pistol targets. Not very good.

Merry Xmas to y'all. I sent my targets in yesterday. This is good challenge and showed me how rusty I am.
I'm in Colorado and my guns are in Oregon. See you all next month.

Now that is long distance shooting for sure!
Target protection - I have been spraying my Oregon hunting tags with Krylon clear. We now have to print them off and my ink jet is not even water resistant. I spray them to the soaking point and hang to dry. They are not totally waterproof but it really helps. Worth trying, I think.
Well we got 45 inches of snow last week and that killed my shooting hopes this month. Can't even get into the shooting range. See what happens next month. Happy New Year all.
GEES THATS THOSE LAKE EFFECTS,,,buried my old g-friend hopefully out in batavia lol

December Final Results
We had 12 shooters participate in the December shoot. That’s about the same number as November but is down slightly from the summer months. Again the pistol shooters continue to amaze me how well they shoot – right there with the rifles!
We’ve had a couple members who have been stricken with COVID-19 but are still upright burning powder. I must say, the group might not be large but they are a hearty bunch. Maybe there’s medicinal benefits from shooting muzzleloaders? I know for sure it is mentally therapeutic. Maybe someone should commission the CDC to do a study.
Scoring this target was a bit challenging because some of you shot the same place consistently. Consequently I changed the January target. We had a tie for third place. The results are posted below. Thank you all for shooting and sharing your results.
