Title: Let's Shoot
Post by: Hanshi on March 15, 2022, 04:47:26 PM
It's now been eons since we did a postal shoot.  So let's start now planning one for this summer (+ or -).  Comments?  Comments?  Comments?  Comments?.....

Speak up so we can get targets/rules established; the "when" we can decide later.  hntr

We could simply pick a target for us to print off from the NMLRA target list.https://www.nmlra.org/downloads

Blackfeet and I were the last to sponser one and that has been a couple of years.

There are 2 ways to do it: Someone can pick a target and agree to be the scorer, or else we can agree on a target and score it ourselves and post the scores on the honor system.

It's Just for "Braggin Rights" unless someone wants to furnish a prize or two.

Who wants to take the next step?

https://www.gemmermuzzleloadingclub.com/targets/ How about some darts? Closest to 151 without going over, taking up to 7 shots. Doubles and triples count. Center bull is 50 and outer bull is 25. Majority of ball must be inside scoring line. 25 yards off hand. We could just post targets here for results.  wtch

Maybe a somewhat simple target; I hate shooting at some fancy target since I might not manage to make any holes in it anyway.  I don't want to send in a pristine fancy target but don't mind too much sending in a pristine, common "work-a-day" target.  I already have some plain bullseye targets but anything from an X to a tennis ball will work.  [hmm] dntn

There are several bullseye style targets on the Gemmer sight that Cherrybow posted the link to.

Do we want to score center of the ball or the edge of the ball?
