This one is a little something different.

3 shots. One try. NO RE-ENTRY!
Take your 3 shots and send 'er in.

The target this time is still the standard 8.5" x 11" sheet of typing/printer paper with an X drawn thru the center... BUT... there's a twist!
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
After you draw the X you will darken in the top triangle section of the target. You don't need to completely color it in, just some squiggles or crayon scribbles etc. will do, just so I know which section is the top.
Your target will look something like this;

The object of the game is to put 3 shots into the black as close as possible to center without touching the white!
Any shot that shows the ball touching white will add 6" penalty to your score! This will be in addition to the actual measurement of the shot.

:hmm: Should you play it safe and shoot well into the black or try to keep 'em close and not hit the white?
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Be safe and have fun! :hatsoff:
 
I'll give it a shot (or 3).
My problem now is what to shoot, flint or cap, what caliber? Life was so much simpler when I only had one gun.
 
I'll try to get in on this one too.... Tomorrow is the last day on my current job so as of 4:30pm Friday I am officially re-unemployed....

Unless I'm out chasing Bambi & his mom, pheasants, squirrels, turkey, or just passing out toilet paper (resume's), I seem to have all kinds of time available....
 
Ok I have some pretty good targets wich the ball hole is good ,however, the paper hole spiderwebbed and ripped thru the line.Will that be a penalty shot?Can I send another target just in case?Thanks for the fun-Stormcloud.

You only get one try at this one! Send in your first target. No do-overs allowed.
Rips don't matter, just where the ball went thru.
 
Jethro, I am putting my tatget in the mail saturday morning. I Shot it about two weeks ago when I shot my target for the flintlocks vs caplocks but until tonight the tatget has been sitting in the truck. I feel like I could have shot better but it is not terrible and it is my first target for this match.................watch yer top knot................
 
Fired my one and only "Get to the Point" target today along with my October NMLRA postal match target. I just wish the latter was as good as the former! At least I can shoot the NMLRA target again and submit one with better results than I got today. (Last month's target was the best I ever shot, not bragging, just saying....). Be that as it may, the "correct" target will be on its way to you tomorrow.
