Good shooting done last weekend.
« on: February 19, 2011, 07:33:33 PM »
As usual we had a 2 day rondy 2nd weekend in Feb at Sheshequin ML club V cold Sat and just cold on Sunday with heavy snow squalls at times.  Actually not too windy prior to and after said blustery snow....

Young Josh Petris shot a 50  XXXX on the Haeffner 'running' fox offhand at 50 yds with his flinter and went head hunting all 5 shots in the head.  Best part was he very calmly walked up to the clubhouse for a snack rather than making a fuss about his fine target.  (No spotting scopes allowed there)  Humble for sure no bragging and a good 19 something yr old kid.  His old man is no slouch either. 

The hundred yd re entry was a deer head shot your choice offhand or stix.  Of course I went for the stixs and managed only a 3rd place with a 42.  Point is I got beat by 2 (younger) guys that shot OFFHAND, A 43 and a 44...... ::)

A bit of humble pie!
