General discussion > Black Powder Shooting
ALR December Postal Match
D. Taylor Sapergia:
You can see from my example that the bulbs are at least ~2" away from each other. I wanted them to be spaced out well on the page, not clustered around the middle. There's no Lexis for first prize here, only honour and glory, so use your good judgement.
Seth Isaacson:
I have no desire to try to game the system by perhaps getting lucking and missing one target and hitting another, so don't take my comment that way! ;D Much the opposite. The hitting two shots in one eliminating both would definitely dispel any advantage of trying to cluster things. I'll probably spread mine out as much as possible so that I don't gravitate towards aiming at the larger one. I've found on multi-target targets or odder shaped targets in the past I have a tendency to err towards the center of the overall paper.
This should be good practice. I'm glad its something different. I haven't been able to get out and shoot since late October, so I'm going to try and get out and shoot this one if I can get some time with daylight and reasonably favorable wind conditions.
Daryl:
Made up some targets this morning. Some completely filled in as Taylor's. Others only with about a 1" black circle in the middle.
Jakob:
I've made 3 different PDF versions:
1 with outlines
1 black
1 black outlines with red fill

This should be a fun target, but unfortunately I managed to shear off my cleaning jag with a thick cleaning patch at the bottom of my barrel. Being a Lymans, the breech plug is not budging. However, one of the engineers(AME) at work suggested we should try and blow it out with the air compressor and will try that next week. I still have the option of trying to glue it back on with epoxy, but it'll near impossible to avoid getting epoxy on the bore. (Which I could potentially burn out afterwards, but more work, etc).
