Difficult target it was indeed. The next one, if Taylor chooses it , will be easy. ( ::))

Finally, the weather cooperated. Sun cloud mix with temp at 10 deg C and plenty of black flies and mosquitoes to deflect the balls  :)    Used my flint .40 cal ,  .390 balls with 40 gr 3F     Score of 20 , minus 10 =   10
Very difficult target.  1st shot was the minus 10, then the 3 higher in the 5  . Forced myself to shoot lower, but was just outside the 10 .   This was a lot of fun.

Sorry for the muddy target; there is a story!

Shot today, 5-31-2020 at 5:00 PM EST from the porch of our Line Shack at Windy Hill Farms.

25 Yards Offhand
Edwards/Kibler Colonial .54 Cal.
65 gr. DuPont FFFg
.530 Hornady
.18 OxYoke w/Ballistol (wet).

Target became easier after the 1st shot making a tunnel effect for enhanced light contrast.

I leave it for you eagle eyed guys to score.

Good job to all the shooters this month. We had quite a few entries for this tricky shoot. I would like to congratulate Taylor for winning with a very respectable score of 30.  He has the the honour of selecting the shoot for June. Send me your address Taylor, and I'll mail you some jerky, or bring it for you to Heffley in August.

Thank you Justin.  Let's save the postal charges and we'll meet again at BC Rendezvous end of August.  I think I've got a fun target for our next challenge....see new thread on postal shoot.
