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!

Rifle, musket, pistol, slingshot, or rock throwing all = the same amount of challenge for me. And that's with or without a bikini.

Would it be PC and HC if, when using a pistol to try the Revolutionary Challenge, the shooter wore a coonskin cap along with a Borat mankini? Asking for a friend.

I kind of wish I had kept the same target on the same backer so I could refer back to what previous shots have been.  But I didn't, so it's a moot point.

Based on my backer, I’m not sure it’s helping my new shots. If/when I hit it will be pure luck.

I can't agree with you, Salty. If and when you hit it the result will have been due to a combo of persistence and skill. That target is a real mind blower for even the most seasoned and experienced shooters. Every time you, me (although I haven't tried in quite a while), or anyone else tries it and comes up short it merely shows how much superior those 1770's Revolutionary shooters were to us. Those guys were light years better. Imagine you're about 17, you say "Yeah, I'll try that, I think I can hit it, and I want one of those snazzy RWB uniforms." Then you step up, take that one cold bore shot and voila, your get the uniform! Incredible. Good luck.

On another forum (TMF) under Flintlock Rifle there is a very interesting discussion, Long Range Shooting, about that topic at distances like what we are mimicking in our scaled down version of Morgan's challenge. There are some tips that could be helpful for those who are still trying to "jine da boyz".    ;banghead;
