Another easy short-range contest since I'm starting the really long-range contest too. :grin:
5 Shots at the center of a 3"x 5" index card with an X drawn thru the center at 25 yards.
Each shot will be measured from center of target to center of hole. These 5 measurements will be added together for your score.
One target entry per member.
5 shots per target.
Mutilated targets and targets with more than 5 holes will be disqualified.
No do-overs.
Only registered forum members may participate.
Only traditional, open iron sighted muzzleloading rifles (NO Cannons). Percussion or flintlock ignition. (you can use a smoothbore or pistol if you would like)
Single patched round ball only. No restrictions on caliber. (a patchless ball may be used if so desired)
Shots will be taken off-hand at 25 yards.(Standing or seated is allowed, elbows unsupported by anything other than the shooters torso)(In the event that a member is not physically able to hold his rifle up unsupported, a "prop-rod" that is supported only by the shooters torso, no part of which prop-rod may touch the ground, may be used to hold up the fore-end of the rifle)
Only original targets will be accepted. No copies, faxes, scans, etc.
The center of the target will be determined by the judge.
Judges decisions are final.
Each contestant's score will be posted at the end of the contest.
Your member screen name and caliber of your gun must be written on your targets.
The contest runs thru August, 2013.
