I'm still trying too. I'm wondering if The 49er would allow us to enlarge the shingle size to 8 1/2" x 11" ?
CERTAINLY, No Po! It's all a matter of proportion. The original Rev shingle was 70 sq in at 250 yards. An 8.5x11 shingle = 93.5 sq in, so all you gotta do is back up to 334 yards. That ought to be pretty easy for you, Tom. Rotsa ruck!  :lol sign

YEEHAW!!!!  First shot of the YEAR, and I nailed it!  However, I believe a certain amount of luck was involved, considering how that front sight wobbled all over the target....

Listen . . . LISTEN . . . LISTEN!! What's that we hear? Is it the sound of fifes and drums? Yes, I hear them coming and Morgan's men have Winter Hawk on their shoulders! A new man, the last of the original sharpshooters, has joined the company. Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah! Corporal Kees nailed it! Beauty!! Kees, pm me your mailing address and a gen-u-wine Alex Hamilton portrait, suitable for bartering for Sam Adams Boston lager, or your preferred libation, will be on the Pony Express to you. Great job, you're abetter man than I.  :hairy :toast :hairy

Salty and Don,  How about you donate whatever you feel I earned to a local charity, i.e. a food bank, a homeless shelter, soup kitchen.... you get the idea.  I and mine have been so blessed that I really don't need it.

Thanks,
~Kees~
