Are you up to a Revolutionary sized personal challenge?

This spring I plan on getting back in the habit of shooting my hundred yards before sessions.
 I will try and get Eric, second rate marksman, to participate

Another swing and a miss today. But I’m not out yet. It was a foul ball.

It's on the paper! Getting close....

After going back and looking at this thread, this will be directed to dmarsh. If you're getting the snow and rain up there like we are in PA, I don't think you'll be able to cross that creek for some time. And you mentioned you had a renegade with a  tuned L&R lock with a full stock. I am partial to Renegades, and I'd love to see a picture of that gun. Never saw one with full stock on it.

Today's attempt at the Revolutionary sized target. I'm like Salty, another swing and a miss. But it was a blessing to just get outside and make some smoke. [ Invalid Attachment ]

You�re closer than mine.
As someone else stated, my shots are 2MOE. Minutes of elephant.

 Well today Eric and I got out and I learned him in the ways of the challenge.
 I let Eric shoot first and although a gallant effort , a miss none the less ( backer board and all )  I'll let Eric fill in his shooting iron particulars.
 My first attempt of the year was, as a famous dude once said " just a bit outside"
 Not bad for a 30"  .62 cal smooth trade gun .  I'll keep at it
 Tomorrow we have a club shoot and sounds like quite a few of us will be shooting smoothbore.
 Should be a hoot.

KDubs, ya got me motivated to toss a piece of lead at it again. Thanks

[KDubs]

Yessir,
 I'll be trying every time out, if I remember..
 I think I should make a new board for 2025?
Kevin

[Salty]

Yessir, I started a new target for 2025. Besides the old target had so many misses it affected my self esteem.
 

[Salty]

Darn that target looks tiny at 100 yds. Another Miss.

[KDubs]

You've certainly have it surrounded.
 Boy that 2/3 shot was close.
 Keep at it soldier 
Kevin

Never give up

Hey Kevin,

Thanks for the session last week�sure had a great time! I appreciate you letting me shoot first, even if my shot wasn�t quite on target (backer board and all)! I�m still honing my skills with the new Ken Netting smoothbore; that was only my second time out with it since a cursory test firing at 50 yards a few days prior.

I think Sunday�s shoot gave me some much-needed confidence with this gun. I�m ready to fashion my own �Morgan�s shingle� and give it another go!

Cheers,
Eric

Hi Second-rate Marksman. If you haven't already done so you might want to go to what started it all, my post #1 (2/13/23).  It shows the target I fashioned and it includes a bit of the history of the shingle as well.  It's good to see someone new is trying it.   . I have one more poke at it in me and then I'm done. It still blows me away that Morgan and Cresap could raise three companies of sharpshooters who nailed the shingle on their one and only attempt. Good luck to you!
