:hairy
That's the spirit, Salty!  Unfortunately our weather forecast is for rain through next Sunday.  While the shooting stations are covered, I am not going to put on rain gear and rubber boots so I can wade to the target stands, even if it's warm out.  Maybe next week....

Spring is coming, maybe I'll hit it with my .32 this year!!
I'm  not  H/C or P/C or even a particularly  good shot but I have a hell of a good time!

You deserve it buddy. How far do you think that 32 drops at 100 yards ? I know you don't want any wind blowing.

well, it depends on the powder load. I've gone as high as 70 grains and it dropped 2 inches but it's inconsistent in a cold bore.

I imagine with 70 grains in that .32, it really barks.

Salty, I know one thing for sure. I'm not good at calling my shots. If I would have had to call that shot, I would have said it would have been to the right. Guess I should brush up on calling my shots.

I?m considering hanging a bit of ribbon from the target. I wonder if that?s against the rules?
