Challenge change.       In Feb of '23 I posted here my Revolutionary Challenge. To date, three shooters have achieved it, and AFAIK Winter Hawk and I are the only two remaining shooters who have chased that shingle for 16 months now. More recently, Salty has made some attempts to wack that shingle. Should Winter Hawk and Salty hit that mini target they will enjoy both fame and fortune. The fortune being a gen-u-ine wallet sized Alexander Hamilton portrait on a legal tender US $10 bill redeemable for some of the holy grail, Sam Adams Boston Lager. Going forward, any others who might conquer the target will enjoy fame but not fortune. I hope more guys try the challenge. It is fun, frustrating, and humbling, and I have been shown it is doable. As for first hand experience, well that's another story! 😄

Thank you Niner’49er. Tuesday is forecast to be calm breeze off the Rio Grande so I’ll give it a try.

Who are the three that have qualified?
Like to give them some recognition.

You're welcome and good luck. First was No Powder, second was Nessmuk, third was KDubs. You can see their targets and announcements of their achievement if you want. I posted them.

Good luck, Kees, this might be the one. No prob, Salty, I have been called worse. I regularly reread and correct before I post, but invariably there are two or three mistakes that I see only after posting so then I modify once or twice.

Ya know at 100 yds you're not missing by much.
 It took 6-7 tries for me so keep at it.
 I'm thinking I'll try again tomorrow with my smoothbore.
 Good luck

While I was out shooting my rondy target, I took a poke at the long range target too. No success. [ Invalid Attachment ]
