Always a good feeling when you see a hole that close.

First shot at that distance with this rifle, picked a poor day to try to shoot, windy as crud, but at least I was on the board... High and right. We'll get there!

I tried yesterday and completely missed the target.  I had it on a small backer, so I have no idea where the ball actually hit.  Got a great big cardboard backer for the next time so I know where she is hitting.  The wind was a crosswind, so I am sure that entered into the cause of the miss.   :bigsmile:

Well here's another one for the loss column. Salty and I are trying to chalk one up for the 45's. After trying the long one, I fired a few at another target at 25 yds. Didn't do well, so decided I was having a bad hair day. Packed my stuff up and headed for home. Then on my way home, a mama turkey and 4 peeps decided to try to cross the road in front of me. It was a very close call, but I believe everybody escaped without injury. And I have decided, I'm NOT buying any lottery tickets.

My apologies to Nessmuk. I knew he had hit the revolutionary sized target, but forgot what caliber he used. So Salty, we're off the hook.

Looks like No Powder and I are shooting the same target, same rifle, same impact.

I didn't take a picture of the target today, suffice to say that it is still unviolated!   :lol sign

However, think of the exercise we get.  1/4 mile is 440 yards.  Walking 100 yards to post the target, 100 yards back to the shooting station, 100 yards to retrieve the target and another 100 yards return to the bench is 400 yards.  Throw in 20 yards from the vehicle to the bench and another back to the vehicle and we have walked that 1/4 mile!  If you're shooting the 25 yard targets also you can undoubtedly add 50 yards more....

Hey Don!!

What do you think of 50 yard Revolutionary Challenge with a PISTOL!!

I've tried it with my .50 cal Flintlock pistol and IT AIN'T EASY!
I'm  not  H/C or P/C or even a particularly  good shot but I have a hell of a good time!

Dedicated to the TMA.

Hey Kevin. Surely they have rules at the range where you shoot, about the bikini thing, don't they?
