New Shootin' Contest! Sign Up!

50 yds sounds like it's pretty close to Fusil range, may give it a try if I can decide which size ball to use, I'll confirm via PM if it looks like I'll get a chance to shoot before the parings.

The way I see it, I'm always looking for an excuse to go shooting.
I hope I go a few rounds so I can have a good reason to get to the range. :hmm: :haha:

I think I'll shoot mine today, the wind is only blowin' 21mph with gusts up to 42. It should be interesting. :rotf: :rotf: I'll have to figure out how to keep the paper on the backboard first.

Windage and elevation my boy windage and elevation. :haha: :haha:

 

[hawkeye1755]

He Jethro, can i take this Revolver?

Largest revolver :shocked2:
One of the most fantastic firearms ever created is a working copy of a Remington 1859 revolver built by Poland's Ryszard Tobys. Listed by Guinness World Records as the world's largest revolver, this 99.2-pound, 4-foot-long gun holds six 1/4-pound bullets. In 2002, it was used in a shooting competition between NATO Reserve Forces from Great Britain, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland. The Czechs won.

[Mountainman56]

soggy, since yer out of snowballs, toss a couple mudballs towards Mountainman56. :rotf:

:rotf: Thought about shootin today. It was clear and 79 degrees but there was an ever so slight wind blowing in my face. I thought it might make my eyes water. :rotf:

Going to go practice on a couple turkeys tomorrow.

 

[jethro224]

Good luck with them turkeys MM56. :thumbsup:

RC, Nope, no halftails around these parts. You must have him scairt... :haha:

 

[Darkgael]

Jethro: I'm signed up already but....I just got a new Kentucky flintlock pistol (Haven't wrung it out yet. Just function fired it; works fine, thank you).
I may want to submit an entry for the pistol as well as the rifle. How would you work that?
Pete

 

[jethro224]

Sorry Pete, ya can't do it. Well, not in the same month anyway. You can do the rifle one month and the pistol the other month. :thumbsup: If ya ain't dead by the third month you can use a whole nother gun if ya want.
One shot per match. One match per person per month. You might end up shootin' yerself if I let ya sign up twice. :rotf:

Back to the topic. I have a serious, but possibly stupid question: Do you want the measurements stated fractionally (1 1/2") or decimally (1.50")?

It would seem to make your job easier if we were all consistant (is 19/64" greater or less than .30"?).

 

[Mountainman56]

METRIC!!! Every other country in the world knows how to do it. I'm sure halftail and soggy will agree with me.

Actually, truth be known I don't think I remember that metric stuff but that's what they make conversion tables for. I believe 2 decimal places will be sufficient.

Besides you get to shoot at a bigger target in metric. Instead of 8.5 x 11 you get a 21.59 x 27.94 target. :rotf: :grin:
