Feather target.
« on: September 30, 2022, 09:19:16 PM »
I found this cool target online a while back. It's a good one to simulate novelty shoots at rendezvous.  Shot at 15 yards with my .45 flintlock. I knew I pulled the feather shot when the trigger broke.  I'm pretty happy though.

Interesting target, Justin.  Do you have an address?

Check out target: tg2419 on the NMLRA website. Has all the components of your target and then some. We used to use it as a reentry target at the AZ state shoot.
We have been shooting that target for many years. Only we shoot it at 25 yards.
Buck Creek Muzzleloaders has a bunch of the darned things and we also shoot it at 25 yards.

When they were still shooting at Gilmore, they stuck real feathers in a log at maybe 18 or 20yd and it had to be shot completely in half. That was a tough one, it made shooting a card in half easy.

Still do that is one of the requirements for the medallion.
