Wow, congrats to all those members of the VT Flintlock shooting Team who ruled the day/weekend and kicked butt, taking many of the top single or individual shooter scores, as well as the overall Team Champions! Special congrats to Bruce D. from VT who shot all weekend in significant back pain, yet still placed up top (1st overallI I recall??) of all shooters ... hmmmm, maybe I shouldn't have given him that Advil right before the Team shoot-off, huh? Haha! (Kidding, as I'd help anybody out ...)
Also many thanks to Eric Bye and friends at the Limington Club in Limington, Maine for hosting this annual event! There were 47 registered shooters and Teams represented from Vermont, New Hampshire, New York (our own 'ADK Bigfoot' was there!), Massachusetts and Maine (who also had some top individual shooters).
The events were all shot offhand as follows, 5-shots at each (1 sighter alllowed on the 25Y target,no where else):
And with pride I'll mention that MOST of the Mass Team competed in period dress, where not too many other particpants did ... even if one was 'commando' under their linen shirt !

- 25-Yards - 5 black bullseyes, 1 shot at each, 2-3/4" across at the 8-ring, where the 10-ring measures 7/8" across with a 3/8" X
- 50-Yards - 1 black bullseye 6" across at the 8-ring, where the 10-ring measures 2" across with a 1" X
- 50-Yards - Standing bear target that is harder to shoot than it looks - see photo ... as there are three separate scoring areas with 10-rings, surrounded by lower scoring areas - HOLD ye windage if you can! The bear itself measures 16" tall from the base of his foot to the top of his ears
- 100-Yards - 1 red bullseye of 12" across to the 8-ring, where the 10-ring measures 4" across with a 2" X
