Well FG, maybe if you would have hit the center of the bucket like the rest of us would have instead of to the side it would have held together. Oh and BTW, I just love your new purse. Makes me wonder how 'good' a time you had at the rendevous?????? I don't recall you telling us about it.

Rendezvous was great. I went 5 days out of 7. The 5 days i went, i missed all the shooting matches i wanted to do. Now i know to get there atleast an hour ahead of the time listed on the charts. I didnt buy anything surprisingly. I wanted a cva .54 hawken in kit form but i really didnt want to spend the money. Great deal at only $150. They had a Smoothbore shooting match and a steel target that slide down a rope and it was pretty awesome to watch those guys, and girls shooting at it. That was the most active shooting activity. All of the shooting matches i wanted to do, didn't have much more than 5 to 6 people at the most. I'll have to work up a load for my .54cal smoothie once i put it back together.
All the days i went were wildy as hell, 20-25 mph winds and almost everyone i talked to was sick of it. I couldnt even imagine trying to shoot in that wind with my 40 grain charge :D Darn thing might have come around and hit some one. Even though i didnt shoot, it was still a lot of fun to walk around and talk to others. Next year i hopefully will have PC Camping gear "Tent atleast" and be able to stay the entire event do a lot of shooting.
Even talked my sister in to going and she actually enjoyed all the little set ups lol.

Oh and i did hit them darn buckets in the center! My first shot is always low when using the subs in the flinter They just dont hold up to the .54cal. I plan on buying a 5 gallon rubberised bucket at the feed store and see how that does.

Steve, Darn right it was the special ball! Those hornady/speers just dont expand like those PB balls i make.
