Kees, If it makes you feel any better,  I tried again today and wasn't too close to the paper. Tried a different gun this time, and it appears that was a bad decision. But I won't give up on it. Maybe need to tweak the sights a bit . Is your shot on that last target in the tape on the right upper corner ?  If so, that is really close.

Tomorrow I go out for my 8th attempt at the challenge, I've hit paper 3 times (edges only) Forecasted wind 3MPH. Wish me luck!

Yesterday I finally managed it to nick the black on Capt. Morgan's challenge!

It was so close I couldn't even tell for sure on my spotting scope.

Way to go Nessmuk. That was a better shot than mine. They used to say, third time is a charm ,now it is eighth time is a charm.

Strike up the band for Nessmuk!! Oh, mama, he DID it, he got the mini shingle, or as he dubbed it "the postage stamp" target. Wow, THAT is a good solid hit and some fine shooting. I'm happy to see that Capt. Morgan now has another Sharpshooter. Mark, please pm me your mailing address so I can forward the Captain's wallet sized portrait of Alex Hamilton so you can enjoy some Sam Adams Boston lager, or your fav celebratory drink.  :hairy :toast :applaud

Yes sir, that would be the bullet hole.  And thank you for saying it was close, but we ain't playing horseshoes here!

Question: how many times did Morgan allow someone to come back and try again?  It was probably one shot and you're out, I imagine.

I believe you are right. There wouldn't have been time to allow guys to return another time, or day, for a do over. The goal was to get the cream of the crop, so I believe a guy stepped up and literally gave it his best shot.
