January Postal Match Target

[garypl]

Well I made it out on this final day of January and all I could muster was a sad little 5 points.
1861 replica springfield musket.
.58 caliber patched round balls.
60 grains of 777.
Off hand, unsupported.

No excuses. The temp was near 40 degrees/no snow or rain and light wind.

Then when I finished I went over to the 200 yard range and managed to hit a 6" round steel plate at 100 yards. So I left the range on a hi note.

Thanks for posting 11th corps - at least you were able to get out and shoot! Between working and bad weather I did not get to shoot my rifle at the target this month

Thanks for posting deerstalkert! Glad you were able to get out to shoot it. I have to judge that shot on the RH bell as a miss - doesn't look to be half into the scoring ring

Finally got to shoot this target this evening. But I just had time to shoot one target so I played it safe and shot from rest. LOL thanks Gary for your taking the time to do this each month.

January was a slow month - I think the bad weather kept many of us from shooting the bell target - I didn't have a chance to get out to shoot it with my rifle.

Here are the results and I hope February brings us nicer weather!

Dang... gonna have to go buy another printer. All my printers are too old and aren't supported anymore, and I had to get a new laptop recently. None of the four printers I had will work with Windows 11. Even had a fresh set of ink cartridges for one of them! Arrgggg! Technolo'gee is great (when it works) and if you can keep up.

Nothing more useless than a broken printer.
