Subject: New old contest; back to the basics.
Greetings all. As Jethro has been absent doing real life chores I thought I'd try my hand at a contest! To be fair and honest, I am using one of his tried and true contests for my first one. This contest will run through the month of February. I will post scores in early March once I have received all submissions.
Signed: Adui
The rules are as follows:
Take 5 Shots at the center of a standard 8.5" x 11" sheet of typing/printer paper with an X drawn thru the center.
Shoot at a distance of 25 yards.
If you miss, do not try again. Misses count!
One target entry per member.
5 shots per target, hit or miss.
Mutilated targets and targets with more than 5 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, matchlock or wheel lock 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 may be used to hold up the fore-end of the rifle.
No part of the "prop-rod" may touch the ground.)
Only original targets will be accepted. No copies, faxes, scans, etc.
The center of the target will be determined by the judge.
Scores will be the accumulated distances of the 5 shots from the center of the X. Low score wins.
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.
Submissions must be postmarked no later than February 28th 2018 to be counted.
Please mail your targets to:

Beyond that I have nothing to do with it so don't ask me any questions about it.
It's his game.
