Are you up to a Revolutionary sized personal challenge?

[Winter Hawk]

I'm not sure how many times I have tried & failed, miserably!  Didn't even try the last time I was out.  Looking at my May postal target it would have been a waste of powder & lead!

Howdy guys. Thanks for the recognition. I’m trying to get back out but between the temperatures, humidity and wind it’s been difficult. In a few days the winds are supposed to die down a bit and I’ll  give it a shot. Who knows maybe the wind will help my shot. It’s obvious that calm days certainly haven’t helped.

Do any of you all use the “RB ballistics calculator” pinned above?
Have you found it effective? Useful?

[Nessmuk]

I suck at Math, Salty, I just like to shoot. Kentucky windage and guesstimation and a notebook for what works.

[Salty]

I need to start a notebook. Good idea

[The Miner '49er]

I don't see anything pinned, but I use the P-max ballistics calculator for bp.  Easy, accurate, free.

[Salty]

@Miner’49er, gotta a link for that?

[Salty]

I’m getting closer.

[No Powder]

You're absolutely right Salty. I'm glad I wasn't standing where that target was hanging. I tried it again today too. And I hit about an inch higher than you did. Now if I could only get my wife to clean my rifle for me, I'd say I had a  pretty good day.

[KDubs]

Right on salty . keep at it.
 I'm getting ready for our club rendezvous next weekend so I won't be trying for another 10-14 days but I will take another poke at that shingle.
 Planning on using my Fowler next time .
 I know you're gonna get that bugger .

Well, I've got a target made up. I believe I'll give it a whirl today at the club shoot.. Gonna take my 54 Tryon and a 45 longun Marty had built.
I'll let ya know how it goes if it happens to work out.

[No Powder]

What is it you mean, when you say if it works out? Think positive boy. If a ball comes out of that barrel when you shoot at it, we want to know all about it. Preferably where you did hit. Good luck Joe.

[RedOneFive]

Well, I did get to shoot but not at the TMA target. Rattled off 10 balls for the club shoot as a heck of a storm rolled in, so we headed on home.. Hopefully another day this week..
