It was tougher than I thought it would be. Tried to hold under that big old red bull after the first shot but was dropping them too low. It was fun though!!

We got together and shot this today. Got up onto the low 50s and slightly windy.
I shot my Traditions Crockett .32 caliber again.
Cast .310 roundball
20 grains of Goex FFFG
.015 pillow ticking patch lubed with 50/50 Ballistol and water
Remington # 11 caps
GaryPL and I have a few members of our gun club that are beginning to join us for this little match. We have a good time and I have begun to look forward to this match every month.
A very pleasant way to spend the afternoon.

Shot the target with JakeGA today - I couldn't help but to aim at the red center! Oh well, I had fun with a great group of guys.
Yup that big red ball was tough to ignore. Well done folks, it's great to see participation like this. And the best part is....we are out shooting the guns we love!
Maybe the members only shooting group should be a club with a name...doesn't matter who the club members are or that some shoot some months and some others don't...any shooting group worth its' salt should have a name shouldn't it?
Just kidding....or maybe not....

How about calling it the Going Postal club 
Gary that's what happens when you're a good shot, you can't throw your shots. I don't have that problem. Good shooting just in the wrong spot.
Yep, I hate missing what I am aiming at and my eyes aren't good enough to consistently aim at whitespace!

As always thank you for hosting.
Used the old garage sale Jukar .45 that should not shoot good but does

Ya almost got me switching bullseye!!
And of course I pulled one as per usual.
Used homemade caps also, I'm not unhappy with them.

Was feeling a little bit better today and had a high of 41. I needed to get out of the house
Traditions Kentucky 50 CAL
1/66 twist
.490 round ball
.018 patch with bore butter
30 grains of Tripple 7 FFFG
My 10 year old also went out with me. He shot too but with a shooting stick. I told him he could not officially compete because he had a rest. His is the exact same load. His is the second picture. He wanted me to share!

I didn’t shoot it this month. On days I was available, the weather did not accommodate and on days with decent weather, I was not available. Hopefully February!
Well, I missed out shooting this one. Good shooting everyone and thanks for putting this on. Hopefully I’ll get the February one shot.
