The Edge of Madness

[jethro224]

Y'all have Mad Irish Jack to blame for this idea.

EXTRA MULTIPLIER EDGE MATCH: Target is a sheet of 8.5 X 11" printer paper at 25 yards offhand. Shooter gets five shots at target paper. EACH hit COMPLETELY on target (Not breaking the edge) scores 3 (three) points. Any shot cutting the targets edge (ball mark on the target but breaks the edge) scores 10 (Ten)points. Bonus score is gained by the highest number of holes touching each other to multiply score. Two ball marks touching (or two sets of hits) multiplies score by two; three touching X 3 and so on. Scoring example: 1 on edge and 4 on the paper (with two and two touching) 22 points multiplied by 2 is 44 total, But 2 singles on the edge and one on the paper but it is touching a hit on the edge and 2 misses scores 23 points X 2 for a total score of 46.

No corner hits! Any corners missing from the target will count -5 points.

Any traditional muzzleloading long gun or handgun, rifled or smoothbore, firing a single projectile is allowed.
No cannons.

Will need to read the scoring rules a couple more times but I'm in. :thumbsup: GW

 

[Darkgael]

After readin' the rules, I kin understand the "madness" moniker.
Y'know, with the Mt. Man contest, I had no trouble hittin the edge but now that I wanta do it......dunno about that.
Madness, sheer madness.
I'm in.

[Jim/OH]

That's the way it goes Pete, when you want to hit the edge you can't to save your life... :thumbsup: ok Jethro, I'm in too. This sounds like fun. Have to get out the calculator to figure the score, or do you do that for us?? :hmm: Anyway I'll give it a try. :grin:

Thanks, see ya, Jim/OH :hatsoff:

 

[jethro224]

Shoot 'em up and send 'em in. I'll do the calculatin'. :youcrazy: :youcrazy: :youcrazy: :haha:

 

[YoungGunner]

Good! Thats just way too much to think about for me. :rotf: This'll give me a reason to sight in my new .54!

 

[lonehunter]

Shoot 'em up and send 'em in. I'll do the calculatin'. :youcrazy: :youcrazy: :youcrazy: :haha:

Yer gonna have to, I think i hurt my brain tryin to figger that out. :shocked2:
Should be no problem hitting the edges, just aim for the center, right?

 

[Grizzled Roberts]

I was told there would be no math! But Im in anyway!
:bow:

 

[trent/OH]

So a maximum score would be 5 shots on an edge, all shots touching, for a score of 5x5x10=250?

This could get interesting in a hurry.....

 

[jethro224]

Yep possible top score of 250 with 5 balls touching and all breaking the edge without touching the corners. Good luck. :grin:

 

[Jim/OH]

Well Jethro, I shot my target yesterday, will get it in the mail Monday. And I can tell without adding it up I didn't come anywhere near 250 points. :grin: But it was an interesting challange anyway. :surrender: We'll see how this plays out. :thumbsup:

Thanks, see ya, Jim/OH :hatsoff:

 

[Hammerhead]

aaaah confusing

 

[jethro224]

You only think you're confused! Wait 'til I try and do all the math, then you'll see some real confusion! :rotf:

Thanks, see ya, Jim/OH :hatsoff:

I kinda doubt there'll be too many 250 scores posted. :haha:

 

[rabjr]

Did you get my pitiful target in the mail yet Jethro?

 

[jethro224]

Yeah Swampy, got yours and Jim/OH. :thumbsup:
Looks like the magic 250 is still safe. :wink:

 

[Jim/OH]

Yes, no doubt about that if everyone shoots like I did. Not even close to 250. Well, Swampy, so far we are first and second. :thumbsup:

See ya, Jim/OH :hatsoff:

 

[rabjr]

You were supposed to shoot at each corner without breaking the papers edge right?? :hmm:

 

[GreyWhiskers]

Well, Swampy, so far we are first and second. :thumbsup:

Buripity and me will shoot our targets tomorrow. Put us down for 3rd and 4th. :grin: GW
