March 2022 Postal Match

[Lonewalker]

Il be shooting March in a few minutes, while I'm resting may I be so bold as to propose a old man eyes targets for one month , in the circle is worth 100 points

 

[Loja man]

WELL DONE !!!
I been hesitant to shoot this one , them circles will disappear at 25 for my eyes. I will be using the Force to aim LOL

When I first looked at the target after I printed it I think I may have swallowed a couple times. Go for it!! May the force be with you!

Ok got it done despite the mud, we had a good bit of rain last day or so. Due to them teeny dots I used my .50 cal wrong handed flintlock PensylTuckyLancasterishTennMtnthangRifle with homemade Peep rear sight . Light load of 40grn 2f Old Enyford and over powder wad.

You did good!!

 

[Lonewalker]

You did good!!

Peep sight is a force multiplier, not sure if even allowed but I used it anyway, it's all for fun.

 

[Omahkapi'si]

Peep sight??....Well, I have never been so offended in all my life....

all good, nice shootin'!

Totally home made , basically bent a piece of stock and drilled a hole out of pure desperation. Funny part it works great , the brain is a strange thing.

shot mine today. put it out yesterday but the day went sideways and i didnt get to shoot. then it snowed on the target. Instant green shamrock!
anyway, here it is.
this tc is really shining for me. hardened the frizzen and not one misfire or klatch!
those wild shots were from me shivering! 20* my story and i'm sticking to it!

Ok I just printed my target. This ought to be interesting, last week I had at least 6 misfires. I hope I fixed my problem. Gonna giver heck.

My target for march. I am ashamed but it is what it is. Hopefully I will do better next month. I still have a pistol target to shoot. Maybe it will be better.

Thank you. Hopefully I will get to shoot it this weekend. Take care and happy shooting to you.

I love the homemade peep!

Lonewaker, I think we can make the 100pt circle work..... maybe over the shoulder in a mirror like Davy Crockett and Mike Fink!

Well, I can say the luck of the Irish was not with me today, but I had fun. This is my first time shooting flint off hand, this is not easy. I was happy to hit the paper 6x! I still have the six shooter in my back pocket. Maybe Sunday
.45 42” using 3f schutzen with .440 and .018

 

[Omahkapi'si]

Will shoot mine Sunday....and this time scan & email!

That’s a nice looking rifle!

 

[BradCayton]

The weather was nice today although a little windy. I figured I'd shoot the March target. It turned out pretty much like my last few attempts. Not real good but I had fun. I keep thinking I'll do some off hand practicing but never seem to get around to it until the next month's target.

Thanks again for running the shoots!

I’d say that’s darn good shooting. I wish I was smart enough to color in the circles. I had a hard time seeing them
