I was wondering the same.  Not that I'm going  out in our monsoon weather today & tomorrow, but it would be nice to be prepared!

May Postal and Fun Targets

AS usual we will shoot the Standard Target

For the Fun Shoot

In the White 10 points, in the Black 5 points
I'm  not  H/C or P/C or even a particularly  good shot but I have a hell of a good time!

Thank you Nessmuk. This will be a fun target to shoot.
Do I have to do a “Gooble gooble gooble” before I shoot?

Went out to the range today instead of shooting at home.
 Did some final load development. Looks like ginger likes 60 gr of Goex 3f with a .530 ball and a .017 PT patch with my new lube of choice, 9 parts buffalo tallow/1 part beeswax.  Might scrap the beeswax and go straight tallow.
 Got my may targets all shot up.
Anyone else get to there's yet ?

I shot the bullseye target the first week of May, and sent a picture to Mark. Don't know if he got it or not. I shot a bad target. No group like I hoped for. But I didn't shoot the fun target yet. Home project and rain to hinder me. I'll soon have to check for cob webs before shooting anything.
