WELL DONE !!! 👍 👍
I been hesitant to shoot this one 😆, them circles will disappear at 25 for my eyes. I will be using the Force to aim LOL
When I first looked at the target after I printed it I think I may have swallowed a couple times. Go for it!! May the force be with you!
 
Ok got it done despite the mud, we had a good bit of rain last day or so. Due to them teeny dots I used my .50 cal wrong handed flintlock PensylTuckyLancasterishTennMtnthangRifle with homemade Peep rear sight 🧐. Light load of 40grn 2f Old Enyford and over powder wad.

Ok I just printed my target. This ought to be interesting, last week I had at least 6 misfires. I hope I fixed my problem. Gonna giver heck.
 
Well, I can say the luck of the Irish was not with me today, but I had fun. This is my first time shooting flint off hand, this is not easy. I was happy to hit the paper 6x! I still have the six shooter in my back pocket. Maybe Sunday

That’s a nice looking rifle!
 
The weather was nice today although a little windy. I figured I'd shoot the March target. It turned out pretty much like my last few attempts. Not real good but I had fun. I keep thinking I'll do some off hand practicing but never seem to get around to it until the next month's target.

Thanks again for running the shoots!

I’d say that’s darn good shooting. I wish I was smart enough to color in the circles. I had a hard time seeing them
