SEPTEMBER POSTAL TARGETS and August reslts

[No Powder]

Well John, I can't see that a couple larger holes in the target would hurt anything.

[Nessmuk]

If anyone wants to shoot John's target next year, let me know and I'll put it in the Line-up. 

[No Powder]

If I'm still here next year, and able to shoot the postals, I don't have a problem with shooting John's target. Won't be the first target with -10 possibilities and probably won't be the last. Mark, you're the NMD here. We are at your mercy.

Well Sgt or at the time corporal York wouldn't be too impressed by my shooting.
 Should have wet my front sight first.

 This was with my north star trade gun.
 First shot right on the bullseye.
 Boy was I full of myself.
 What's that they say about celebrating too early.
 Oh well at least there's October.

Ten dead deer in my book Kevin.

[Nessmuk]

Kevin, You're supposed to print it in "Landscape" mode! The way you did is too small. Try it again in Landscape.

[No Powder]

I never noticed that Mark. Should make a big difference. Still ten dead deer.

[KDubs]

You really think that would help, I mean honestly 
 I'll try again but I might just use the ol TC .
 I shoot that so much better than my flinters.
 Wonder if it's the set triggers.
 Since ol York used a capper, I'll honor him.
  you are all correct, definitely minute of deer.
 Don't think I'll hunt with the trade gun though.

I?ve got to say, I?m impressed with the groups you pulled off with that trade gun?especially considering the recoil you?re dealing with and the lack of a rear sight to anchor on. Tackling a postal shoot with a smoothbore is no small thing, and I admire the boldness it takes to step up with one.

I thought about posting my own targets with the recently finished Kibler SMR, but I?ve decided to hold off and re-shoot them once I?ve had the chance to properly sight it in and experiment with loads. I?d rather give myself the best shot than settle for something half-dialed.

I picked up an extra drop-in barrel chambered in .45 cal so that I might be able to hunt with this guy this fall.

[KDubs]

Eric , great pic by the way, you were shooting great, until your front sight fell out. 
 Once that's fixed you should be in the top ten TMA shooters 
 Kevin

[No Powder]

Eric, Kevin's right. That is a sweet picture. 

[KDubs]

I keep telling him there's $$ in those pictures.
 He has a knack.
Kevin

[No Powder]

He does for sure.

 Kevin

Ha! Thanks, Kev, but I thought the TMA only had about five shooters that actually participate in these postal shoots? 😏

Next time around I am definitely silver-soldering the underside of my front sight instead of staking it. As you know, I was blowing patches too, which explains why my shots kept drifting a couple inches left or right. Meanwhile, I kept chasing the problem by nudging the sight back and forth like it was the culprit.
