Running Deer Shoot - Flintlocks Only 12/18/21

[Chris In SE PA]

Try your hand at a moving target. Flintlock only for this event.

Always the Sunday before Flintlock season here in PA. This year that would be 12/18/21. We start around 9ish.

Cushion Peak Rod and Gun club in Vinemont PA. That's right inside the Berks County side of the Lancaster/Berks boundary line.

I have a similar post I started a few weeks ago on the Flintlock Forum. Someone suggested that I post it here also.

The target runs along a track. Each individual participant stands at the line and take 1 shot. The shot is scored on the paper, the hole gets taped over, and the target is ran again for the next shooter. After every shooter has had his 2nd shot (or misfire) it is scored. High score wins 1/2 the $$$. The other 1/2 goes to the Club. It's $2.00 a round. We keep shooting until everyone has had enough fun for the day and then we retire to the Clubhouse for breakfast and/or adult beverages.

The Whispering Pines club near Wellsboro Pa. has a running deer target on a cable and the target is a steel plate where the heart should be. Miss the plate and you are out.
