Wish I could shoot this target, my club is closed due to the virous.

After supper. Wasn't going to post it. LOL $:-\$
I make this -20 - do I win?
Just couldn't get it up.
The high shot, that is arguably in or out, was called.
All the rest felt good. Imagine that.
Same load as before, but pure lead balls this time.

You know, you're not supposed to shoot blindfolded, right Daryl?

Thanks for shooting the match and sharing your target, Dave.

Shooting blindfolded wasn't so bad, but he spun me around three times - that made it hard to hold steady.
That's why it's a horizontal group - except for the one I called a bit high, of course.

Haha you should practice in a spinning office chair

Still too cold and snowing again here

Hopefully tomorrow will be more conducive to shooting my target .

MuskratMike · « **Reply #82 on:** May 13, 2020, 01:20:08 AM »

Where the heck do you live that it is still snowing in mid-may?

Daryl · « **Reply #83 on:** May 13, 2020, 03:22:42 AM »

LOL - he's only 100 miles North of Kingston, Ontario.
Balmy sunny 20C here today, same tomorrow & we're about 600 miles North of Bob.
That's 68 ForeignHeat.

I see, or to put it better, don't see Daryl's today target! Come-on Bro......

Shot the target again today just for fun...neither of us did as well as our first effort. But here's mine from May 9th...

That is undeniable, legitimate offhand shooting.....

Daryl · « **Reply #85 on:** May 13, 2020, 04:46:32 AM »

Yeah - he's been doing pretty good since he got his eyes fixed.
LOL- He wasn't too shabby before he got them fixed, but it is harder
to beat him now - AS YOU CAN SEE!

He shoots that 11 pound Virginia C-weight .50 rifle fairly well.

Maven · « **Reply #86 on:** May 13, 2020, 03:53:42 PM »

Good shooting there!

Oil Derek · « **Reply #87 on:** May 13, 2020, 05:47:26 PM »

I'd be thrilled with that result! Great shooting Taylor.

Daryl · « **Reply #88 on:** May 14, 2020, 07:48:48 PM »

He cheated - it's got a loooooong barl.

Ah, the old 24' barrel and Cellophane over the target trick....

Daryl · « **Reply #90 on:** May 15, 2020, 12:31:59 AM »

LOL - just goes to show, a 10 pound rifle with a 42" bl. holds nicely.

That depends on how the 10 pounds is distributed over the length of the rifle

I do like a minimum of 9 lbs and something like a 45” barrel for decent offhand shooting.

Justin Urbantas · « **Reply #93 on:** May 15, 2020, 07:00:23 PM »

too heavy for me. My arms get tired. 7-8 lbs is more my style

It's a Virginia rifle, with a "C" weight .50 cal barrel, the balance is perfect - for him - and not too shabby for me as well.
I prefer a little more muzzle weight. My 9 1/2 pound English-styled gun is a little light for standing target shooting but it's
a perfect weight for absorbing hunting load recoil. Never feel it when shooting at a moose.

Justin Urbantas · « **Reply #95 on:** May 28, 2020, 08:34:15 AM »

Okay folks, we've had some good entries and fine targets shot for this month's shoot. You folks have one last weekend to get out there and see what you can do. I hope to see a couple more shooters give it a try.

bob in the woods · « **Reply #96 on:** May 28, 2020, 04:50:23 PM »

I hope to get mine done today

Nope- got rained out. Maybe tomorrow.

Pukka Bundook · « **Reply #97 on:** May 29, 2020, 04:13:57 PM »

Spring seeding is late this year, and up to eyes in it.
Hope to shoot this, but possibility of such is fading...

Me and stymie shot ours today. Here's mine, .445, 35g fff
.o20 spit.

Here’s my disappointing target. 5/30/2020 from stymie.
