Bronko let me explain what I said so there is no mis-conception.

In another post we were discussing off hand shooting. One member said he could hit the target off handed every time at 100 yards. Every time.

At that time I stated that at one period in my life I shot alot of Black Powder Silhouette. I live in the same region as you. I went to alot of BP Sil. competitions. I stated that I shot very well. But I only cleand about 15% of the courses that I ever shot.

Those courses consisted of 20 shots at 25, 50, 75, and 100 meters. That was the distance that we shot competition at here in WV and SE PA. The targets were 1/2 the size of standard rifle Silhouettes, which as you know are shot out to much farther distance. However in our physical area we wanted to keep our longest shot at 100 meters.

I was not a National Competitor. Nor am I a good enough shot to be a National Competitor.

The 15% comment came from me when I said I could shoot 20 for 20. I said I was competent enough to clean the course 15% of the time I tried it. Hopefuly that clears it up.

If you know alot of shooters then you will recognize the name Marvin Wotring. He ran alot of those silhouettte shoots that we attended in the Morgantown and Uniontown areas.

We also shot alot of "woods walks". That was also alot of fun. But we never shot at any target past 100 yards in the woods. I also could clean those shoots about 15% of the time. However it seemed there was always a shoot off where a few different shooters would clean the course. ALot of those type shoots went away with the advent of the Archery IBO shots.

I was not stating that other shooters could or could not shoot better than cleanig the course 15% of the time. My comment was that was what MY CAPABILITES are. Tom.
