That is some fancy shooting Okabow!
Mike, I concur with Daryl, it is a 48. By the way Mike I think we are all geezers here.

Alacran,
I concur on the "geezer" part. Some are more "geezered" than others (I think I know someone who fits in the "more" group  ;D). Good shooting indeed, Mike.

At 69 YO I’m not quite a geezer yet. As they say; 70 is the new 50. Although a new hip and quad heart bypass have helped me keep young longer. I also recently got my first pair of prescription glasses. I can now see the target well enough to pick a spot.

Had another perfect shooting day other than the smoke from all the forest fires. Had only 2 eligible targets left to shoot. First one was a total bust but here is the last one. Not much to brag about as I score it a 44. Only 1 week left so let's all get out there and shoot.

I was going to shoot it last weekend, just to find out that I'm totally out of round balls. I hope to get some cast on Saturday. Between work and getting ready for the hunting season (with my new 1863 Sharps), I haven't had much time for 'fun' shooting.

Okay I am calling it as no one else seems to be submitting any more targets.
Congratulations to Okabow for a darn fine 50 2X score. Now it's up to him to set the match for September!

Archery style target. 25 yards, 5 shots standing or sitting offhand. Shoot a second target, 5 shots, 50 yards standing, sitting or kneeling using a wall, tree, post or bench for support. The gun cannot touch the support, only your arm, back of the hand or shoulder, no bags.

Thanks, shot better than I normally do. More practice than usual I guess.
