I'll do it!   If Paulk will have me.

My attempts to enlist a newbie as my partner for this has fallen on deaf ears.

SharpStick, I made you and Paulk a team since he said he was looking for a partner and I'm sure he'd be happy to partner up!  :shake

Sounds good. Thanks SharpStick. I’ll try not to shoot too low and drag us down.

Same here. I haven't been able to shoot for a couple months.
Maybe I'll start off with a some practice shots right at Fink's nose. After a few I figure he'll start ducking and I'll hit the 10 slot on the cup.  ::)
The trouble with doing things right the first time is no one realizes how hard it was.
Often, however, the following is more applicable.
I stand corrected, a position somewhat painful to achieve, but once there, is quite satisfying.

It’s July 1st so I broke out the .36 flinter and started this Mike Fink shoot off. Good group but not a very high score. I’m counting on SharpStick to knock off a bunch of 10’s. Joe, is this post good enough or should I mail my target to you?

Good shooting PaulK... :bl th up

Anytime ol' Mike Fink doesn't end up with a hole in his head - is good shooting, and a score of 40 ain't bad at all! I have you posted... :bl th up

Thanks Joe, I had it at 38 but 40 sounds better to me.

Here's the scoring rules for Mike Fink;

Scoring will be based on NRA (cut or touch) the higher scoring (line / ring) will receive the higher score value... Exceptions; Any shot touching Mike Finks Head will be scored a "Minus 10" ...

So you did just fine, Paul  :bl th up

Thanks Joe, I’m shooting that .36 flint a lot and really enjoying it. Very accurate at the shorter ranges and doesn’t pound me into the ground like the bigger calibers can do at times. Just a fun gun for plinking around with.

If I can shoot that well, I think we'll do fine.
I haven't shot anything for a couple months. I'd better go knock the dust off the cap gun and brush up on my technique. I got new glasses so maybe I'll be able to see the cup this year. I should do all right if seeing Mike's ugly mug clearly doesn't give me jitters.

I'm going to go with my Ed Rayl Barreled .40 caliber Dickert this year... When one thinks about it, the smaller caliber could have somewhat of an advantage in perhaps eliminating that outer edge of the ball touching ol' Mike Fink's head under that cup and rendering a (dare I say it) minus 10...  :Doh!
