Ok gents I got mine done, I chose to use rifle I picked up on here couple weeks back. It's run of the mill Ivestarms HawkinISH, I'm not finished with its "tuning up" but figured let's put a few thru it. Had fun good target idea this month. Landed 1 each quadrant, I erred on caution from x worried about penalties I suppose ya actually penalize yourself that way , no guts no glory. Thanks for putting this on again much appreciated.

Might not have access to a printer this month. Ok if I draw my own? Is it 8x10?

 

[Lonewalker]

Took time to try another target with a pistol, I didn't shoot "traditional" I did use a two hand grip. Pedersoli .44 cap gun, also a recent acquisition, LOVE IT.
Now not to seem crazy, but it kinda likes a .433 ball sans patch makes for fast easy loading and accuracy is combat effective I'm sure for target shooting a proper size patch would tighten things up. Enjoy beautiful day the Lord has provided today.

Ranchroper, it's just a standard 8.5"×11" piece of printer paper, just draw it out with some nice fat lines (the fatter the better for the rest of us )

Glad you guys are enjoying this one! I hope to get out and participate in this one again since I've missed the last two.

Done and thanks, will shoot it next weekend.

Well, this didn't turn out well! Hard to see the aiming point for these old eyes. The upper hole in the bottom quadrant was supposed to go into the LH section. We had a fun time shooting this target in spite of the cold weather here in Georgia! Can hardly wait to see what we will be shooting at in March

Not to good this month. I won't say how hard the wind kicked up just when I set up to shoot, cause I think I was so afraid to hit the lines..........yada, yada, yada, Haha.

Great fun ! looking forward to next month !

Thanks, Eric

Dang it. I should have drawn my own target like you. I might not have hit that fat line from my printer. Haha.

Good Job, RR, especially with conditions, Eric

 

[Omahkapi'si]

My Sharpie marker was dying from the cold....

Nice Job !
I picked up an older Ardesa 50 awhile back, and finally shot it last weekend - Really liked it also !

I shot my target today. This is the first time I have shot a target for the forum. It was fun getting out today and do some shooting. I will try to get my target posted on here tomorrow. I will also post a link to my Youtube channel showing me shooting it. It looks like there are a lot of people on here that share the same passion as I. Shooting Black Powder. Happy shooting everyone.

I didn't make the February shoot this round. I work for the WV DOH and we've been busy plowing snow so haven't had time to shoot this month. Hopefully I'll be in the mix next month

I post marked and sent in my target today. I know it is just for fun, but I would like to know who won. When and where are the results posted? Unless I am just missing it, I have found no results for past targets.

The results will be posted here on this thread. Generally around the 10th of the month to allow enough time for all the targets to arrive and be scored.
