This month we will do just a simple 3-shot rifle contest. It's been a while since we did that. :haha:
The target is a standard 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of typing/printer paper with an X drawn thru the center from corner to corner.
Distance is 50 yards.
Take only 3 shots at your target and send it in. No do-overs.
Only registered forum members may participate.
Only traditional, open iron sighted muzzleloading rifles (NO Cannons). Percussion or flintlock ignition.
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 50 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)
One target entry per member.
3 shots per target.
Mutilated targets and targets with more than 3 holes will be disqualified.
Only original targets will be accepted. No copies, faxes, scans, etc.
Each shot will be measured from the center of the hole to the center of the paper.
The center of the paper will be determined by the judge.
The total of all 3 shot measurements will be added together to determine final score.
Judges decisions are final.
Each members score will be posted at the end of the contest.
Your member screen name must be written on your target so we know who won.
The contest runs thru March, 2012.
Mail your target postmarked by April 1, 2012 to;
