Just going to get better from here

That’s ok. Better than my revolver attempt. It’s a challenging target

I finally got one shot today. I couldn't buy a piece of the candle anywhere today but I'm not disappointed because all would have been lethal in a deer.
NW Trade gun, my build, .62 cal.
2 ff for load and prime
Tow wadding over powder and ball
.610 round ball
Offhand
Score 0

My feeling is that as long as you had some fun, who cares about the score!

You betcha ! It's a beautiful day here in SE Indiana for a change and great to get on the range for a while.

Very true harder than I thought it would be.

I finally am going to get out to shoot this target tomorrow. Been a busy month!

This is absolutely the case in my book!

Like @deerstalkert, I waited until the last day of the year to get out to the range to shoot the December target. Took my 14 yr old neighbor out and he loves shooting the ML firearms.

I shot the rifle on a windy day here in Georgia - but managed to hold it pretty tight for a 40 score. I shot my Ruger ROA for the first time since adding the higher front sight and I think the sights need to be adjusted left a hair - grouped most of them around the RH edge of the bull for a score of 2! I'll have to spend a little time adjusting my sights next time I go out.

I will score and post December targets later this week and I wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year and thanks for participating in these fun shoots!

That is a stellar offhand performance Gary!

The pictures of everybody's targets makes this seem like a reasonably doable shot. But at 25 yards it takes up very little space on a piece of typing paper!

I really wanted to take the flame off. Hands were cold at 20°F and I kept pulling left. Was happy with my groups. Great to be alive and shooting.
I tried three targets. Best I could score was a 12.
Thank you Gary for the forum matches!

Woods-walk Yukon moose!


See the "Blue" grouse? There's also a white buffalo, "Omen" and a Woods Buffalo on the hill.

Here are the December match results - lower turnout I think due to weather and holiday activities.
Interesting that moemoney29 and I were both high scorers in rifle matches and lowest in pistol matches

I think the January target will be more forgiving and hope everyone has fun with it.

Happy New Year!
