July Postal Match

Hope you enjoyed shooting it! This target is good practice for when you go to a shoot and have to split a ball on an axe blade

I find 25 yard targets to be more of a challenge than 50 yard targets for some reason. I scored 45x out of 50 on a 50 yard off hand target at a local competition last month.

Good shooting! These 25 yard shoots will be good practice for you so you’ll be shooting good scores at all ranges!

Beautiful day at the range. This is a rifle I don't shoot often, I had issues with getting it to pop caps until I changed the nipple. I got to the range and realized I forgot my powder horn, so I shot 6 times-I had a some 777 in a powder dispenser-went home and got another can of FF 777.

Got out to the range yesterday. This was an interesting target. The black vertical bars helped a bit with the sight picture. I still kind of sent the rounds out a bit wild. I have been trying to use the Schuetzen style hold and it is still very new to me.

This Renegade has the older T/C sights that have the square notch, and I much prefer them to the sloping "valley" rear sight on the other two T/Cs I have.

I put the target on top of some fluorescent green poster paper so the holes could be seen better.

I’m going to get out and shoot it next week - hope I can see those firecrackers!

Went to the range this morning with a few friends and found this target to be very challenging! Scored 10 whole points! We had a great time and now I will figure out something to shoot at in August.
