October Postal Match target

[Buckskinquin]

I just finished scoring my targets, a "duh" moment to be sure since I have the actual ones on my target backer. The one on the left = 55? while the one on the right, spoiled by an off target hit, =

Bsq, The second target was a 40 (or so I think).

 

[Rebel bull]

the target isn't one of your best but it is cute, with that being said IT TAKES TO MUCH INK ! would have been just as good with less solid colors

 

[garypl]

Point taken, but any target that has a decent size bullseye that those of us with old eyes can see is going to take up toner/ink. I don't see an issue here when printing one target a month

 

[Rebel bull]

I'm in that old eyes (69 two cataract surgery's and counting) I run a shoot each month and just for grins and giggles I have them shoot your target but as none of them are members here i don't turn them in 20 targets = to much ink not bitchin just an observation you are doing a great job if you need a break just ask i'll help

 

[garypl]

Thanks Rebel - I understand and I would feel the same way as you if I had that many shooters wanting to shoot the target! I do appreciate your offer to help - if I get too busy I will keep you in mind. I enjoy doing this every month and so it doesn't feel like work to me (and I meet a lot of nice folks with the same interests)

Had a nice day yesterday so I decided to go to the range. Shot the bear with my pistol. Still working up a load, but shot a pretty good group except for to one I pulled. Thanks for putting on these matches. There loads of fun.

What a mess.
My 10th shot was off the paper.
Gotta figure out what's causing it so I have an excuse.
Still enjoying it though. Thanks Gary.

Shot theteddy bear today with my Ruger Old Army and with my .32 SMR.

Ruger Old Army, 25 Gr Swiss 3F, card wad, felt wad w/olive oil lube, .457 ball
One got away from me so I shot a 43 score



Rifle target shot with Kibler .32 SMR, 30 gr 3F Swiss, Red Ticking lubed with ballistol water and a durofelt 1/8" wad soaked in olive oil under the patched ball. Scored a 55 on this one. The felt wads help me shoot the .32 without swabbing the bore for up to 25 shots (maybe more, I normally don't shoot that many)

Arrg. I guess I need to shoot it over with six shots this time. Sorry.

Not a problem Salty - this just gives you another excuse to get out to shoot!

Here I go again. Don’t know where the 6th shot went. But score looks like 38?
Thanks Gary.

 

[Rebel bull]

Ya know after further inspection with a target backup I think that shoulder shot is a 5 not an 8.
Better mark me a 35 not 38.
Thanks
