December 4 is National Candle Day!
Another well known holiday is December 4 - National Candle Day. Old time shooters liked to snuff the flame out on a candle. This target will be easier to shoot because you can hit the candle, flame or bullseye to score points.The usual three categories: rifle, smoothbore, (smoothbore must not be equipped with rear sight - front sight/bead only) or handgun
Two ways to shoot: Offhand from 25 yards with rifle or smoothbore or 15 yards with handgun.
Bench rest/supported from 25 yards with rifle or smoothbore or 15 yards with handgun
Mark the box on your targets as either rifle or smoothbore or handgun and either offhand or benchrest/supported.
Instructions for new participants - download the pdf file at the bottom of this post and print it full size. Post your target by taking a picture of it with the information filled in and scored by you and post it back to this thread.
6 shots for score
10 pts for Bullseye or if you snuff the candle wick/flame; 2 pts for any other hit on candle - max score 60 (ball must be 1/2 way inside the scoring area to count)
Shoot as many times as you wish but please only post one target per category with pictures of target (and gear, if possible - we love to see everyone's equipment and load data!) Post jpg or pdf formats. Please score your own targets and write your score on the target along with information on the load you used and other info including rifle/pistol or smoothbore, bench or supported. If you do not check the boxes I won't know where to post your scores. I will check scores and it helps me if you will draw a line to each hole in the target and write your points for each shot - makes it easier for me to check the targets.
Prize is same as always - bragging rights on the forum!
I will be posting November results later this week.
Have fun and Merry Christmas!
