May Postal shoot
bob in the woods:
I propose we shoot the same target as April. Folks are just getting warmed up [ a bit of a pun intended ! ] Any military position ie standing , sitting, kneeling or prone. No tables or chairs. Any metallic sights, 25 yards, round ball only.
Please advise what sights and position when posting.
This is a much more difficult target than I thought it would be, so I think it deserves another round :)
Dphariss:
Sounds good to me.
alacran:
Good I printed out a few extras. I probably shoot it offhand, but might try sitting position, you can get very steady with it.
Nessmuck:
Excellent ! At least I had the targets printed
alacran:
I don't know if folks have lost interest in the postal shoots. Maybe the weather has gotten too warm for some. Maybe folks have shot the target and are embarrassed by their results, and just not posting. I thought I had more copies of this target, but I only had one with me. I have to get another ink cartridge before I can print some more.
I shot this target offhand. This is a .58 Jaeger I have been shooting about a year. I am reticent to make a lot of changes in sights, till I have shot a rifle for a few hundred balls. I am now satisfied that the sights are where they need to be.
This is intended to be a hunting rifle so I am happy with the trigger pull weight at three pounds. But I will spend some time tuning the lock some. It is as I received it. It wouldn't hurt it any if the break would be a little smoother.
This target will let you know that quickly.
Any way I shot this Thursday afternoon. I score it a 34.
