Partner surprise shoot.

[jethro224]

:thumbsup:
18 sounds warm! It was -7 this morning when I left the house. Bbbbrrrrrr!!! It's supposed to get up to the 30's by next weekend if they don't change it by then. :thumbsup:

 

[Darkgael]

Jethro: -7? If it'd been that cold, the paper would still be on the shelf.
I know 18 deg is shirt sleeve weather for some but it's cold enough for my shootin'.
Right now it's.....lessee....one deg outside. Dogs don't want to go out.

[ww321q]

I managed to get a target with a hole in it to send in Saturday . This shooting event reminds me of poker for some reason . J.W.

 

[jethro224]

Time's gettin' short fellers. Get them targets in the mail!

I'm still waiting for targets from;
Buripity
Mountainman56
skunkskinner
2ndUSSS
and Mad Irish Jack

There's still just over a week left to get your shots in. :thumbsup:

 

[Mad Irish Jack]

:applause: I shot mine in the rain this morning. Then I dropped it in the mail on my way home. Should be there by Tuesday. :thumbsup: I forgot to mark my target with my weapon and load. They are a .54 caliber Early Lancaster using a .530 roundball wrapped in a .012 cotton patch over 80 grains of FFg Goex BP.

 

[skunkskinner]

Mine should be there by Wednesday.

Good luck longbow-hunter :wink:

 

[longbow-hunter]

Got mine in there skunkskinner. Forgot to tell Jethro that I shot a 50 cal. patched ball with 60 grains of geox powder. Gotta wait and see how we done. :thumbsup:

 

[2nd USSS]

from 2nd USSS. did my target saturday, will mail Tues AM. nothing quite like a white target, white snow squalls, white snow ground cover, faded (out of ink)magic marker 'X', and old eyes.
The good news is I hit the paper.

 

[Darkgael]

Yeah! Hitting the paper is good.
Pete
Were we supposed to include load data?
Oh.
.490 ball, 0.010" patch, 90 grains FFg, 0.030" fiber wad between ball and powder.

 

[Mountainman56]

I'm still here guys......occasionally. Well I got it done this morning. I think Jim/OH was getting a little nervous about his partner. This workin for a living is sure interfering with my shooting. Should have snuck out last Thursday when it was 80 degrees but I decided to wait till this morning....when it was 25. :shake:

Anyhow it's on its way Jethro

 

[Jim/OH]

I think Mountainman56 is going to have to give up workin. Can't let anything get in the way of shootin! :thumbsup: Jethro now this partnership is complete. Now we'll have to wait and see how it turns out. :hmm:

Take care, see ya, Jim/OH :hatsoff:

 

[jethro224]

All the targets are in! The measurements are measured, the math is done, Here Are the Results;

[jethro224]

On a side note, there was somethin mighty strange that occurred here.

Grey Whiskers and Buripity. 2 good friends from Winton CA. Shootin' buddies. Went shootin' together the day they shot their targets. They BOTH scored 1.288" exactly the same as each other! :shocked2:

Different size holes. Clocked different on the targets but both 1.288".
:idunno: :idunno: :idunno:

 

[GreyWhiskers]

Congrats to my twin brother from another mother, MountainMan56! :thumbsup:

And thanks to lonehunter for shootin just a little bit better target than me. :v

Uh, oh! Time to find another shootin' buddy to mimic. One that gets closer to the center! :blah: But wait, who fired first? Who mimicked who? :idunno:

 

[Mountainman56]

The twins come in first and second. Who woulda thought.

Poor Jim/OH is going to have to find himself a better shootin partner. :shake:

Fun shoot Jethro and thanks. :thumbsup:
