Post Your Target - 3 Shots / 50 Yards / Offhand
I don't particularly care for big deer type of contests. So I'll pass on the one being set up. (I don't care for stickies either - always thought they have a tendency to expand in number and clutter up a forum.)
But if anyone wants to try a three-shot off-hand "honor shoot" just for grins and giggles, I'd be in. Target: A three inch black dot on a 8.5" x 11" sheet of printer paper - three shots only. Range: 50 yards. Gun/Sights/Load: Any muzzle loader of your choice (no other restrictions). Other: You may shoot as many targets as you want, but have to post both the best one and the worst one. I'm pretty sure I could put at least one shot out of three on paper. :s2: Might even try one target with iron sights and one with a scope. |
lol, I may be in for that one. really don't know if I will really get an chance to hunt this year. life just gets in the way lol

Now THAT'S a fun contest! I'd be all for it but my shooting range is also my hunting land so the range is closed until after deer season :s4:
When I was a kid, during the summers as my dad and I spent time on the farm, we'd shoot blackbirds, groundhogs ect and he wouldn't let me use a rest. His theory was, 'if you can shoot well off handed, shooting with a rest will be a piece of cake' So I was forced to shoot off hand. I hated it then, but now I'm quite glad me made me do it. |
The load was 110g BH209, 300g Deep Curl, W209, crush rib sabot. Temperature was about 70; there was an inconsistent breeze; elevation about 4700'; range was 50 yard or maybe near 51 yard.
Black dot ended up being 3 1/4" not 3" so i imagine this target doesn't meet spec. Shooting off hand isn't so very much fun for me, so i will not repeat with a 3" dot, unless i can use sticks. I accept disqualification. . |
That sounds like a challenge to me Semi. I will even shoot my Encore Muzzle loading pistol along with my Renegades. Now I just have to tell the Boss
( I mean The Wife unit) that I can't go with her to her sister's house in Daytona this weekend. Hi Ho Hi Ho it's off to the range I go. |
Sounds like fun

I don't guess its OK to post older pics? I assume the shooting must occur from now until - whenever. Too bad cause I shot this with my .45 GM-LRH a few months ago. I could try this with my 1:70 GM .54 but I don't want to scare you guys off. That barrel is scary accurate.

I yeild to the pros.
I took one shot with the 45 Knight and just clipped the top of the target. ( the whole sheet, not just the bull ) I figured why waste two more shots. I was surprised on how difficult it was to hold it steady. Perhaps I've been relying on the Harris Bibods too long. |
I won't get to shoot until next weekend. But I know I won't come close to that one Bronko posted.
NEW RULE: Anyone called Bronko must shoot holding the gun with one hand only, and the other hand in their pocket. |
