I got mine shot Friday and mailed after. While having a good day, I also cut 2 cards, nicked 2 in 5 shots, 2 for 2 on tongue depressors, using a holding jig I made to put into a bullet hole on the target back stop. I plan on card shooting at 50 yards when I make some more holding dowels. We have a fairly restrictive club with anal rules. We aren't allowed to put up our own frames. We have a long range 100y, 150y and 200y yards, for only modern weapons (NO .22 s, l, lr or mag and NO None Modern ML's (newer rule)) unless boards special approval is given. I've been waiting since Feb after requesting, with documentation, for LR shooting I have competed in with my flintlock guns. Our short range is 25y and 50y for any firearm. The close range is for handguns only with framed target boards at 7y and 10y yards. If I want something different I have to drive 63.7 miles to my old haunts or wait for approval. The card jig I made also holds other small targets. I'm also required to clean up cards and target fragments. Guess I'm a rebel at heart and keep finding alternative solutions to problems presented. I am waiting for the old time officers to boot me or suspend. LOL More to rant on but I'm done.
The jig is made from a spring action clothespin. I broke off one lever at about 1/4" from the spring. The clamp holds sting holding THINGS that break. We aren't allowed exploding targets. I use a 6" length of 3/8" dowel rod. I wrap a small rubber band tightly around both ends about 1" from the ends. I make a slit on each end to hold cards or other THINGS. cards can be vertical, horizontal or skewed how you want for fun. Suckers, small balloons, Popsicle sticks, tongue depressors, etc.
