Since I'm on my way out the door to TN for a rendezvous I don't have time to post the whole thing, but this will get you started;
The October contest is a deer hunter's tune-up.
Shoot 5 shots at a BLANK 8.5" x 11" sheet of printer paper at 50 yards.
NO sighting aids, because deer don't have aiming points.
Shots will be measured from the center of the paper.
All standard regularly posted rules will apply. I'll edit this when I get back from TN. :hatsoff:
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, 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.
