June Postal Match Target

[Italian Hawkin]

first day without rain now if I could see what I'm aiming at ? (sights) and eyes. anyway I shot the same target with 2 rifles (32 and 50) did better with the "Mares Leg" 50 cal .490 ball .015 patch 20 grns 3f goex scored 30. I shot the 32 custom barreled seneca first and did so poorly thats why I shot the 50 only scored 20View attachment 328761View attachment 328762

Rebel good shooting! I like that Buggy rifle, and I like Miner 49ers Snake Eyes pistola. I think next month I will try and shoot my Buggy Rifle and an old Hoppes Ethan Allen pistol.

italian hawken the "mares leg" isn't necessarily a buggy rifle I came up with the idea for a adjustable stock for my grandchildren then this spring i cut a CVA mtn rifle barrel in half to make a shorter lighter gun. the barrel justs proves that a sewer pipe can shoot good. this barrel came to me loaded and took months to unload. and just for giggles I tried to clean it up with steel wool on a jag it now will clover leaf at 25 yards (not with my 70 year old eyes) all the time and can shoot a match with out cleaning between shots, but still looks like a sewer pipe but it doesn't tear or cut the patches!

Finally got a break in the rain and wind. Misses are shooters fault. I’m gonna give him a stern talking-to.

I remembered to shoot the target before the end of the month.
Used the pistol this time. A CVA .45 cal. percussion.
.440 round ball with .015 patch
Score of 25.

Northwest trade gun
Smoothbore
Off hand
.600 round ball
.PT patch with maxi lube
.60 grains of 3F
My first target started off with a 10 and then went downhill after that.
So this is my 2nd one
Score 35

Typical Ohio weather conditions today; High winds and breezy, then sunny and hot. Shot three offhand pistol targets. I got my miss fire problem solved and had lightning quick ignition. Here is today's best target.
