Jethro,

I know it's late in the evening but I've read the contest rules 3 times. We take 4 shots but what determines the smallest total score? Nearest the center of the target? And was "In-Line" just to get our attention? :hmm: I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop..........

In-Line Contest

The object of the game is to shoot 4 separate shots, in as straight of a line as possible. The center of each of the two furthest apart shots will be each end of the line. Each of the other two shots will be measured from center to the line. Those two measurements will be added together for your score.

Any traditional muzzleloading long gun or handgun, rifled or smoothbore, firing a single projectile is allowed.

No cannons.

The target is a standard 8.5 x 11" sheet of printer paper with an X drawn thru the center.
The X is optional this time.

Distance is 25 yards.

Shots are to be taken off-hand.

4 shots per target.

Ok, now the "in-line" thing makes more sense. :wink: Boy I thought Jethro had leaped over to the other side. :hmm: But instead he came up with another good match. Have to give this one a try. :thumbsup:

See ya, Jim/OH :hatsoff:

After reading the first set of rules, I thought I was coming down with a case of lead poisoning from handling so much in the last contest! :cursing:

This one sounds fun! A little geometry, mixed with math and shootin'. Hopefully, this one can be done in less than 23 shots! :redface:

I was told there would be no math!!!
:bow: :bow:

Well... ya gotta count to 4... :blah:

:shocked2: I thought it was like a post shoot, but we shoot at a in-line rifle instead of a 2x4 :idunno:
Wish i would have known sooner! :rotf: :rotf:

I can do that on one hand! :bow:

Aw heck Grizz, you ain't givin' yerself enuff credit. I bet you could even do it with one hand tied behind yer back. :haha:

Just for grins when this one comes back around I may try to shoot in all three catagories providing I have enough lead! I am sure my shots
will go up when I pick up the smoothbore and pistol!
