OCTOBER POSTAL SHOOT and September Results

Well, It's October and our last match of 2025!! It seems that America has been "Zombie Crazy" for a couple of decades so it's time we fought back. This month we'll be shooting a Zombie target and as usual, we'll be shooting the standard target.

Shooters post your targets on this Thread and Good Luck!
Reminder on scoring the Zombie
Head  10 pts.
Torso 5 pts
Legs  2 pts
Arms  1pt.

That zombie target sure does make me wish our local range would open up so I would have a place to shoot.

That is a great target and it oughta be a keeper, for sure.

Next year, I hope to be shooting.

That's a cool target Mark. And I'm a thinking it may be a bit difficult if you're striving to put 5 shots in the ole noggin. But that's what I'll be trying to do. The key word here is trying. Thanks again for filling the NMD's position. My cousin said my targets are printed. So hoping to pick them up tomorrow and throw some lead at them next week. Might try that aim small miss small thing again.

I got the ol bugger printed out n ready to decapitate.
 The weather has turned from 90* summer to 60* fall in a heartbeat.
 Getting some much needed rain and dampness.
 I'll be shooting soon though I'm sure.

 Setting the bar high as usual.
 Well after some rain and Mountain snow the last few days , this week the weather should be more condusive to black powder shooting.
 I've been make my own antique muzzleloader propellent and I'm itching to try it out.
 Maybe Thursday I can make a go of it.

 Out of the .54 the what I  call 3 f shot really well but very dirty.
 Cedar bedding for the charcoal.
 I'll be trying some grapevine and some alder soon
 But all in all quite happy with the results

But here it is.

I certainly didn't want anyone to feel that way Jim. I just shoot my shots and what it is, it is. I guess this time I was the blind hog that found the acorn.
