OUTSTANDING!!!
You and I are shooting the same trajectory. That’s where I hit too.

You qualify for the two Hamiltons!!

No powder hit the target and qualified for the two Hamiltons. But he asked for it to be donated to St Jude’s Children's Hospital which I completed today.
Thank you No Powder.
Very generous and thoughtful.

In the spirit that The Miner ‘49er and No Powder started I am offering to donate another Hamilton to StJudes in the name of the next shooter that hits the black.
Good luck you all.

 Took my first try in a while.
 St Jude's will have to wait.

Have you been using the Kibler, or the TC Hawken? I can't remember your Kiblers name.

I think I need a name for my Hawken.

First you have to determine if its a boy or a girl. Good luck with that.

Ginger is my kibler , she's a redhead ( cherry stock)
 That's what I used for these targets.
 I took my no name TC ( rusty comes to mind) to our club shoot a week back, took 3 rd place outta 12 shooters .

My “Thunderstick” presented me with a surprise this morning. Closing my eyes during the shot seems to work.

Impressive!
I'm  not  H/C or P/C or even a particularly  good shot but I have a hell of a good time!

Thanks Nessmuk.
Notice all the missed shots though.
Took a lotta powder to get there.

Well Salty, I just might try your method next time and close my eyes too. Good shooting buddy.

Today's attempt. And take a good look at that ball laying on the target. If you're wondering if that is a hole from a ball puller, the answer is yes. No Powder did it again. [ Invalid Attachment ]   ;banghead;

It seems as though Salty and I are the only two members making posts about this target.  I was just wondering if anyone else is even trying to hit this target anymore.  I like to shoot a fouling shot before shooting for score, so as long as I'm at the range, I'll be taking a poke at that postage stamp.

That's about what I do, but when it doesn't even show on the paper or cardboard I don't bother reporting it.  And with not getting out last month it's been a while since I tried!  ::)
