Put on yer poker face, January 2012

[jethro224]

It's too dang cold outside to aim proper so I figgered we'd do one just for fun! Even if you're shivverin' too bad to aim straight you oughta be able to play this one.
Feelin' lucky?

5-shot stud poker!

Only registered forum members may participate.

One target entry per member.

Mutilated targets and targets with more than 5 holes will be disqualified.

Only original targets will be accepted. No copies, faxes, scans, etc.

The target is a standard 8.5 X 11 inch sheet of printer paper at 25 yards.

Any traditional muzzleloading firearm firing a single projectile can be used.

Any style sights are legal.

Take 5 shots at your target with the paper oriented vertically.

Mark your target "TOP" so I know which way is up.

I will compare your target to a "Master Target" which is divided into 52 equal spaces. Each of these spaces will be randomly designated as a card in a poker deck and assigned it's suit and face value. The center of each hole in your target will determine your "poker hand". Best "hand" wins!

RULE ADDITION; If 2 shots are in the same designated card spot I will deal you a new card out of a real deck for the second card... or 3rd, 4th, or 5th. Don't stack 'em in there. You can't have 5 of the same card. :wink:

Mail your targets in time that they will be received by Feb 1st 2012 to;

Jim Green
P.O.Box 22
Pekin, IL 61555-0022


Targets will not be returned unless an S.A.S.E. is included.

Multiple members can send their targets in the same envelope if shooting together.

Be safe and have fun! :hatsoff:

If you guys want to add some excitement I can "deal" the cards out, face up, one at a time at the end so y'all can "bet" imaginary $ at the end...

 

[GreyWhiskers]

Hmmm, sounds like gamblin'. :hmm:

Gonna try to get this one done. GW

 

[chance]

I will try to get it shot!! Sounds like fun.

Jethro, Are you talking about five shots on the paper with no X or aiming points? Sounds like a good excuse to burn some powder!
:grin:

Yep. Just hit the paper. Where your shots hit determines which cards you get dealt.

Oh, and if 2 shots are in the same designated card spot I will deal you a new card out of a real deck for the second card... or 3rd, 4th, or 5th. Don't stack 'em in there. You can't have 5 of the same card. :wink:

 

[cody kaiser]

Iam in!!!! But one question... just take a sheet of printer paper and shoot it anywhere? Am I correct? Just want to be sure so I dont get disqualified :wink:
Thank you
Cody

 

[jethro224]

That's it. Just shoot 5 holes in it and send it in.

 

[Deadeye]

The rules say "a target with more than 3 holes will be disqualified"

Woops. :redface: I'll fix that.
Thanks for catching that for me.

I don't know Jethro it's going to be hard to stop putting the balls in the same hole! :wink:

Well Grizz, it is a PAPER target so you shouldn't have any problems, just aim for the center. :haha:

(For those that don't know Grizz, he is afflicted by a paper curse. He can't seem to shoot paper worth a hoot but he can shoot the wings off a gnat at 100 yards. :haha: )

Do we really have to wear that ugly Lady GaGa mask?

 

[Grizzled Roberts]

With it being a paper target NOT stacking the balls in one hole is not a problem! I normally hit the paper just not where I want to. :thumbsup:

Just you Ghettogun. And don't forget your meat dress neither. :haha:

 

[gunsmithscott]

[smo]

What if ....the wind blows and, the target gets doubled over and I get a few extra holes inner'????? Just foolin' even I can shoot in this one. Cause I know I don't have to worry about gettin' em in the same hole twice . If I can sneak off from work long enough I'll be sending you a target. :thumbsup:
