Hey folks. I won the postal shoot that Taylor put on for June, so it is my turn to put it on for July.
Many of us have had our rendezvous and shoots cancelled for the year to protect those at risk from Covid-19.
I think these postal shoots are a good way for us to still have a bit of camaraderie and get out and burn some powder.
Parameters for this months shoot:
The distances will be 50 yards for rifles and smoothbores, and 35 yards if you'd like to shoot with a pistol.
This is to be shot offhand, or from a wheelchair etc if required.
The target will be the outline of a standard cd/dvd/video game etc...
Trace the small centre and the outside of the cd to make a small circle inside a big circle.
You can put it on any size paper/cardboard you'd like. I used posterboard.
Leave the centre circle as is, and colour the rest in with paint/marker etc.
The shoot will consist of 5 shots at the target.
Shots with at least 1/2 ball in the target will count for 5 points.
Any shot with at least 1/2 ball in the small centre circle will be worth 15 points (it is very small).
Highest possible score is 75, low score is zero.
If there is a tie, smallest group size will be the tie breaker.
I will allow up to 3 entries to show off your best target.
Please mark your targets with pistol/rifle, smoothbore and your name.
All you good shooters make sure you hold on to your targets if we need to measure for a tie breaker later.
The shoot will run through the end of the month, and there is a nice prize for first place.
The winner will recieve a brass cap/doodad box that I will engrave with their initials.
Have fun everyone. We had 17 shooters last month. I would like to see even more this month.
Good luck!!
