Let's get another contest going.
This time we will use rifles at 50 yards. You can use a smoothbore if you like, but no handicaps will be given.
Originally I was thinking best of 13. Then I realized how hard that might be to score with one ragged hole right in the center of all of those targets... :wink: So...
Take 8 Shots at the center of a 8.5"x 11" sheet of typing/printer paper with an X drawn thru the center at 50 yards. If you miss, do not try again. Misses count!
Each shot will be measured from center of target to center of hole. The best 5 measurements will be added together for your score.
One target entry per member.
8 shots per target, hit or miss.
Mutilated targets and targets with more than 8 holes will be disqualified.
No do-overs.
Only registered forum members may participate.
Only traditional, open iron sighted muzzleloading firearms (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 the stated distance.(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 must be written on your targets.
