This contest is based on an idea our member Pacobille sent me in a PT. It sounded like a fun way to keep those members who don't have a pistol busy whilst the rest of us are duelin'.
Even if you are dueling, you can still get in on this one too. :thumbsup:
The target is a standard 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of typing/printer paper with a 3" circle drawn in the center. A 3" target sticker such as the orange Birchwood Casey target spots may also be used. These will represent your "Pumpkins".
You can even draw pumpkin faces on 'em if you want.
Set up one target at each distance of 25, 50, and 75 yards. targets must be marked as to which distance the target is set up at.
Shoot at each "pumpkin" until you get a ball completely inside the circle.
Each target will be worth the same amount of points as the yardage it is set up at. BUT a ball that cuts the line and is not fully inside the circle is minus 5 points and each ball fully outside the circle is minus 10 points.
One target at each distance. No do-overs.
Only registered forum members may participate.
Only traditional, open iron sighted muzzleloading rifles (NO Cannons). Percussion or flintlock ignition. (you can use a smoothbore or pistol if you would like)
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 25, 50, and 75 yards.(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)
One entry per member.
Mutilated targets will be disqualified.
Only original targets will be accepted. No copies, faxes, scans, etc.
Ties will be settled by whose shot is closest to center. Each shot will be measured from the center of the hole to the center of the target.
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.
