Getting ready for a Coues deer hunt. So I went out to verify zero on my suppository rifle. I figured this would be a good time to shoot this months target.
I went out in the high desert, so I could set out a target at 300 yards. After I was done with that I drove up to my backstop and set up 25 yards from my target stand. The wind was very light, and since I wasn't at the range I didn't expect any distractions.
So I shot my first two bulls and I could see my hits quite well. While I was reloading for my third shot. An elderly gentleman drove up beside me. He asked if he could function fire two rifles he had just bought. I told him to go ahead. He was shooting center fire rifles. The first one had a scope on it. When he brought out the second one it had open iron sights.
Since he seemed like a nice fellow I volunteered to put a single bull target on my stand for him. And I did. Well long story short we talked for a bit and it turns out he is 82 years old and is a modern gun stocker.
Needless to say I was quite distracted.
So here is my entry I shot at bull #4 twice, because I lost track of what I was doing. The last shot I just lost focus.
It is the only target I shot and I doubt that I will be able to shoot another before the month is over.
I did not want to sit this one out. I liked the target. I shot it with my .54 Hawken using .535 balls and 70 grains of 2f goex. Jo Anns Cotton drill #40, bear oil lube.
Don't understand why sometimes the image host shows images differently than how they are in my picture library.
I posted the target withe logo on top. That is a staple tear by the logo, I tore it when I repositioned the target.
