Thanks Chris - I like re-entry targets - like you said, everyone likes a second chance after you pull a shot! Since the stakes are so high, why not!

I shot my target this afternoon, it was 41deg and a bit blustery here in Kansas but being the first time I've been on the range all year it was worth it! I did some plinking beforehand and I was being bedeviled by hang fires, after about 20 shots I was about ready to give up when I finally had the thought to prime with the 2f in my horn rather than the 4f in my pan charger! Viola!! Click BANG!! No more pssssssssst bang! Looks like I need to put fresh 4f in the pan charger, what's in it is over 2 years old and must have gotten a bit of moisture in it.
This target was alot of fun and a real challenge. The tops of the trees and the mooses noses were maddeningly hard to hold a good sight picture on and I may have mumbled some things under my breath and lowered my rifle more than once to try again.
Anyway,
51pts, Pedersoli Pennsylvania Rifle .50cal flintlock, 60gr FFG Goex, .490 swaged ball, .015 patch, Mr. Flintlock Lube.

Nice target Chris! I believe 51 points is a good score for these small figures! I'm driving back to Georgia tomorrow and was hoping to shoot later this week but the weather isn't looking too good until next week - can you tell I'm a fair weather shooter?
Merry Christmas

Yep I know now there are 11 shots. Shot over two days. Lost count. Never my strong suit. I was going to shoot a new target but the weather is deteriorating.
Thanks for keeping this going.

Thanks for posting your target Salty! Hope weaather clears up a bit next week so I can shoot it! Merry Christmas!
Only a few more days to shoot this target - I am planning to go shoot on Friday as the weather warms up a bit.
Posting the January target today if anyone wants to save gas and shoot them at the same time

Surprised you could shoot this as cold as it must be up there! Thanks for posting and I hope you enjoyed shooting it. January target should be a little easier on the eyes!

Hah! Your location shows Minnesota - since you are in Florida there's no cold weather excuses!

I had the same thing happen. People wanting to talk. And way too crowded for my liking. Its a small range with four tables and I counted 14 people shooting or waiting.
At least we got some targets posted!

Merry Christmas to all the shooters. That reindeer on the bottom left must be Prancer, he dodged just about all my bullets. Thanks again for making this happen.

I made it out shooting -27F. Just before sunset I made the 400 yard walk to the range.
My rifle did seem to load easily. Like a clean barrel every shot.
Impossible to touch any metal as it felt like it was made of fire.. Trigger-finger hurt within seconds.
Great to be alive and shooting!
Happy New Year Everyone.
Only shot 6 rounds
