Old Guys vs Young Guys Shootin' Contest

A while back, there were some Old Guys here on the Forum braggin' about how they could out-shoot us young whippersnappers. Well, here's their chance to prove it. We're having an Old Guys vs. Young Guys Shootin' Contest!

There will be two teams.

Anyone who is 50 years of age or older as of July 1, 2009 is an Old Guy. Anyone who is less than 50 years of age as of July 1, 2009 is a Young Guy.
Any member who was born at any time of day on July 1, 1959 is automatically an Old Guy.

The captain of the Young Guys will be me, Jethro224.

The captain of the Old Guys will be Mountainman56.

Only registered forum members may participate.

Only traditional, open sighted muzzleloading firearms are allowed. Use a smoothbore, or a rifle, or a muzzleloading handgun(NO Cannons). Percussion, flintlock, matchlock, any traditional style 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 50 yards.

One shot per member.

Mutilated targets and targets with more than one hole will be disqualified.

Only original targets will be accepted. No copies, faxes, scans, etc.

The target is a standard sheet of printer paper with an X drawn thru the center corner-to-corner.

Shots will be measured from the center of the hole to the center of the paper.

Each team captain will measure his teams shots and record the scores. Scores will be forwarded to Musketman who will be the referee. At the end of the contest the winning team will be decided by the AVERAGE SCORE for all shooters from each team.

Take your best shot.

Write your screen name and age as of July 1, 2009 on your target.

Mail your target to your respective team captain postmarked by August 30, 2009.

Captain of the Young Guys team;
Jethro224

Ohhhhh,
Just caught the last part of that post Swampy... :grin: ...I'd gladly shoot your Target for ya Swamp.....I'd even take along ol' Soggy to watch n' verify it(Whatever that means)What says you all?I'd even write a note to put in all three components... :hmm: :wink:
 
Well I only allow this cause Soggy says he hops around on one foot and closes his shootin eye just before firing, so it can't get any fairer than that...
