JULY POSTAL SHOOT AND JUNE RESULTS

shooters, this month we'll be shooting the standard target AND the notorius MIKE FINK!
If you haven't had the displeasure of shooting Mike, make sure you read the Target carefully. It's a B%&*#h.

Shooters post your targets on this Thread and Good Luck!

Apologies for the late posting. My Canine Companion of almost 17 years passed from kidney failure on July 1st and I had to attend to his final needs.

I'm  not  H/C or P/C or even a particularly  good shot but I have a hell of a good time!

My sympathies for losing your friend. 17 years is a long time.  The oldest I've had a dog achieve was my old lead dog, who we had to put down after 14 years.

You posted the same target twice.  I think you wanted to link to the Mike Fink one perhaps?  I'll make a real effort to get to the range this month and wring out the Shenandoah rifle some more.  This past month was a doozie with dental and vet appointments, plus other "stuff" getting in the way.

Once I made a life size "Mike Fink" with a styrofoam head, complete with a long dark wig.
I also cut a cavity in Mike's head and filled it with canned tomatoes, just waiting for someone to shoot a bit low.
I thought that would be just splendid if someone did.
Sorry to say, it was for naught.  Everyone hit the tin can balanced on his head or missed altogether.  I shot last with my Bess and darn, I missed it altogether myself.
Oh well, the best laid plans of mice and men, etc.....

Still trying to improve my load recipe but not bad.

Had a couple standard targets in my box when we got to rendezvous, so I just took care of July whilst I was holding a dirty gun. I missed June completely with all the happenings we had. Maybe I can get the can shot off his head the next few weekends!

 Here's my attempt for this month.
 Had to shoot at the sand pit down the road, high winds today and with the fire restrictions I didn't want to chance it on my home range.
 Anyway I certainly need more practice.
 Consistent at about 3" over POA. 
 Don't remember this kibler shooting like that.

Kevin you short changed yourself.  Your MF target is worth 22 pts.

I figured the two head shots negates the 20 pts for the can hits.

Ok I see what's going on, I agree it's worth  22 pts.
 Makes sense once I understood the scoring rules.
 Thanks all

I am confused.  Someone please explain Kevin's target.  I would also score it as being 10 + 6 + 4 = 20 in the cup, while 2 X -10 = -20 in MF himself. 20 - 20 = 0....  ::) ::) ::)
