Golf anyone? Feb. 2016 shootin' contest.

[jethro224]

Well, I hope everything's going good now. Sounds like you had a rough time there. We'd be glad to have you in the shoots.

 

[jethro224]

No, just this one target for this one time. :haha:

Golf anyone?

The Canadian TV Comic RedGreen sometimes spoke of a shooting contest involving golf (someone hits a golf ball off a tee) and skeet (where a shooter positioned near the golfer shoots at the golf ball).

I'm happy to say I tried that sport ... it is really hard to hit a golf ball hit from a tee. If you can find the ball, it is easy to tell you hit it.

 

[jethro224]

Red Green is great! I used to watch his show every week. Ain't seen it in some time.
I did see the Duck Dynasty guys doing that tho.
Too bad we couldn't try that for a forum shoot. :haha:

I played "golf" today, but my wife played the real game on Weds. Care to speculate as to who had an easier time of it? (This would have been much easier with a rifle!)

Mine's in the mail. I took it down as neatly as I could, the only four holes in it are from the staples.. If I would have put it up landscape I might have hit the target. Turns out I shoot consistently 12-13 inches to the left. Sorry about the bloodstain, must have cut my finger on the flint.

:rotf: :thumbsup:

 

[Dave Marsh]

Too funny Greg. I used tape to hold mine as I didn't want to cut myself on the staples or the flint. No blood on mine. :rotf:

Jethro, mine is on the way and I must say I have the 32 dialed in. :thumbsup:

Uh oh... :shocked2: Think I've got some competition ... Ahh well, when Jethro see's my target he'll laugh again!

 

[nessmuk]

My target is in the mail.

 

[Darkgael]

Call me a wimp. Yesterday was 1 degree with a steady 20knt wind. Today it is 8 below. No range for this boy this weekend.

I call it common sense Pete!

 

[coloradoclyde]

Do I get extra credit if I can hit both targets with one shot?

 

[jethro224]

No. But it'd be a good trick if you can get both hole-in-ones with one shot without folding the paper.

 

[coloradoclyde]

Well' I was going to fold the paper... :haha:

But I still have another way to do it.....Same way Davey did..... :grin:

60*, sunny and little wind here today . . . so I was able to get out and shoot "at" the target. Not bad, but definitely not good . . . especially considering it was the first time I have pulled the trigger on anything in nearly a year.

The target should be in the mail and headed your way tomorrow.

BTW - I also grabbed my .204 for some range time as well and shot the same target with it (but at 100 yds) - I'd rather send it along, but, alas, I didn't use roundball or a sidelock .

Extra credit.. not really, a 2 under par score that will be nigh on impossible to beat.. YES!

 

[jethro224]

. . . especially considering it was the first time I have pulled the trigger on anything in nearly a year.

:thumbsup: That's what these contests are for. To give folks a reason to get out and shoot. And, of course, to have fun.

 

[Dave Marsh]

Dare I ask? :rotf: :blah: :shake:

 

[jethro224]

Probably. :haha:
