How about a july postal shoot we have not had one in a while....
Winner will receive a hand made medicine bag courtesy of Lady Bulldog and myself....
Rifle 50 yards 5 shots
Target: See below
What position will we need to shoot? Peep sights allowed? When will we need to have the targets in and to whom? ;D
It's about time, in my opinion. If we have to at least the end of July, that will be great. Why don't we have this one from a sitting or kneeling position? This is what I mostly shoot from in the woods. We've done plenty of off-hand, already. The target looks fine.
I think that kneeling is fine and whatever traditional sights you have are allowed...
targets will be sent to me and I will score them same as in the past... I will post the pictures of sights on this forum but my decision will be final... unless I am the winner then you can challenge my decision ROFL
My email is idicenterprises@hughes.net and anyone who wants to fax them can pm me and I will give them my fax number... Targets can also be sent snail mail to me at:
OSAGE LOCK & KEY LLC
8097 Post Oak Dr
Tulsa OK 74126
Attn: TMC shoot
any other questions?

I'll try also.
I'm in. Any caliber specifications or can we shoot whats we normally shoots?

Great to get this response, might even see if suck on some of them quills and do them on the bag, my work ain't fancy but I give it my best try. Glad to see us all participating and carrying on! Dennis he be smiling. The canyon here in Ok did our salute, opps Baby misfired but he got my intentions anyway, it was one of his so maybe it his way of saying thanks for effort. Thanks guys
shoot what you want to shoot as far as caliber... same rules as always the judge makes the final determination on scoreing so if you use a 32 you might not get the same score as if you used the 54... but it is your choice...
See above for the list of judges... strpot
count me in.
I'm in! flwa
We have 7 signed up so far, you will have until Midnight July 31st to send me your targets. If your target has not been received by then you will be disqualified. Winner will be announced not later than Aug 7th (give myself a little wiggle room, just in case...) Targets received will be posted on this thread (which I am changing the name of) with the score that the Judge has allocated. Videos submitted showing the shooting of this event will be eligible for an additional surprise (if I can think of one).
Any further questions -
Ladies & Gentlemen the firing line is now HOT for the July 2010 Postal Shoot! Good luck to all!

Thanks!

Anyone I missed or want to take part you have until Midnight July 31 2010 to do the shoot and get the Judge you target submission...
prty Hey! I'm in this one, too! I try not to let these things slip by me. I'll even quit drinkin' likker long enough to shoot blah. Count me in!
I would like to join in, but I hope I can do better than I did at the Territorials last weekend. That was the worst I have shot in a long time. I finally gave up and shot a friend's pistol, then went back to the rifle and figured out I was using a really old can of powder and it had about 25% more power than I was used to.
Got you both added to the official shooters log, that gives us 16 shooters so far.
Me too..just printed target--came out fine..now if I can just hit it in the right place 5 times...Usually seem to get 4 counters and one out....
Doug
Got you on the list David...
im in for sure
Got you!
Thanks.
Gonna try to get out there but cant guarantee it at this time.

You might ask Bulldog lady if you can use her's for the shoot....
Hey guys! count me in too. I cannot open the target either. Maybe I can get a friend to open it. Anyway, thanks for havin this shoot. I missed out on the Derringer shoot. Too much work to do. Thanks again.... Bobby
read Bager u can count me in if I can get the old man up the road from me to print me a target and just to make it a little more fun scoar mine against that same old man please I have never done one of theas shoots so what is the deal pracitice all u want or is this a cold 5 shot deal thanks
Got you both added - that brings us to 19 shooters officially registered, and yours truly ...
It is 5 shots at the one target.... No one need know if it is your first or 50'th 5 shot group.... just remember no more than 5 shots in the target or it is an immediate default.... wtch
Still time to get involved....
If we get enough participation in the younger shooters we may have a youth division... so get the kid's, grandkids and neighbor kids to shoot...
The pouch will be posted as soon as it is done....
Well the month is 1/2 over and I have not received any targets yet....
Well I will tell you what you bring a swamp buggy or an air boat up and we get to the range, got 2 1/4 in rain a week ago and just to day finally the back yard is clear of standing water
I know what it will be like at the range.

I know - we have been getting it also... At least my range is accessible and you know you are always welcome to come for a visit
Well, we moved this month and I haven't had the chance to get to the range yet. Maybe next week.
I'm going to try and get to the range tomorrow. Was going today but the yard really needed mowing after all the rain we've been having. The cupboard was almost bare also. So off to the grocery store and then mowing. By the time I finished those jobs it was much to hot to go to the range. Looks like summer is back!
I will just wish you all good luck and pass on this one as the only time I have ever shot any type of firearm was for dryball so I would not even hit the target so would be a waste of time for me lol
I'm still in, but I just put new sights on my rifle and I am having to do a lot of filing on the front sight. Now I have to get back to the range, file until it is right and shoot the target. It is 40 miles to my range.
For those of you who have never done this before, neither have I, but it is all about the challenge, having some fun shooting, and maybe harassing each other a little bit.
Dixie Doll: You can just send in a blank target. It sounds like nobody here can hit the thing any way! :)
DixieDoll, if the only time you ever shot one was for Dryball, then that is that much more reason to do it--as a tribute to him, by doing this, you will be showing him that you have not given up on what he taught you.

Finally got a chance to go up to the range this morning. I got there later than I wanted. The 50 yard range was in use so I had to go to the alternate 100 yard range with 25, 50, 75, and 100 yard target frames. There was no shade or benches. I rolled a 4 foot cable reel up to the shooting line to put my gear on. It was only 84°F but the heat index was right around 100°. Right now it's only 89°F but the heat index is 106°. Anyway I did manage to get off two shots. One shot did hit the sheet of paper but was outside any of the target. With the sweat, direct sun burning down on my somewhat sparse haired head, and the glare on the barrel, I was lucky even hit the target backing. :) Oh well, I'll print another target and try to make it to the range EARLY in the morning. :)
No excuses now Ironwood! blah With a massive target like that a young guy like you shouldn't have any problems at all. srndr I remember that Texas summer sun real well from when I was stationed in San Antonio on the range. Clear skies, bright sun, 110 in the shade (none anywhere), humidity through the roof, long sleeved fatigues (short sleeves noy allowed on the range); the fun of working in South Texas.
DeadDawg, that's the trouble... This young man is 73 years old. :) The heat really does a job on me these days. I'll be back out there trying again tomorrow morning early, if all goes well.
hdslp Still waitin ofr my printer to get back from the shop, they said two weeks- a month and a half ago, as soon as it's back,,,,print off a couple and I'm gone- that is iffin I ain't workin- just got back to work after a year of partime jobs, welding in the heat-just gotta love it, could be worse, no work!
Naultrick, Pm me your mailing address. I'll print off a couple and get them in the mail for you today.
Voy just to clear the air I have not given up on it would just like to be able to get me own firearm and have time to practice so I can at least hit the target. Trust me getting a chance like the one Jim gave me that day was awesome and I intend to find a firearm that suits me and continue to shoot. I have the bug in me now and want to learn more. Thanks
Not worth postin' up, but here it is anyway. Temp 86, winds out of the west @ 12 gusting to 21. Awful small target for these poor eyes.
Kneeling position @ 50 yds. Did better shooting a bullseye target offhand @ 50 yds. (at least I could see that).

I truly appreciate the offer Ironwood, but I got a call from the Source (place printer was purchased and where the warranty is valid) and found out they didn't repair my printer is was shipped to HP and they didn't repair it either, they replaced it with a newer upgraded version, just finished setting it up and installing the drivers-tested it- and printed off four of the targets-got a small job to do in the morning and God willing and the creek don't rise should have a good day at the range tomorrow, Again my thanks for the offer-just reinforces my faith in the people on this site, dntn hntr
Hey Badger
I will mail my target Monday. I shot it at 07:30 this morning when kneeling was just like kneeling in a rice paddy, when finished got a cup of coffee and could not tell what was hotter the gun barrel, the coffee, or the hood of the pickup I had just put my elbow on, When you get done laughing just burn it the target.
Old Salt
Will do I am thinking about putting lights uyp on my range and doing mine in the dark.... got up at 5 am just as the sun was peaking over the hill and it was still about 92 and muggy out there...
hntr Gonna try tomorrow.If it aint a hunnert degrees here its pourin rain.No happy medium.
Don't like to talk about what I'm going to do, Ahem! But you might want to go ahead and stitch my initials on that bag. Just to make it fair I'm going to shoot it standing on one leg, backwards, using a mirror at 100 yards. That should give some of the rest a chance. noway
Hanshi, Don't know how you're planning on doing it, but just something to think about. I put my target on a red backround instead of the usual cardboard that we have at the club. It made it a whole lot easier to stay on the white and just used it like a bullseye. My eyes ain't the best and this helped a bunch. After all, you havin' a few years on me, you probably need all the help you can get. ROFL
I got the rifle mostly sighted in and the target is on its way.
The wind can be pretty swirly here on the side of the mountain where my range is, so I wasn't happy with the target but it will have to do.
I am going to poke holes in mine hopefully this weekend! I, like flintboomer, will probably have to contend with some stout wind. My range isn't on a mountain though, its on the high plains (5,500 ft, approx,.). I think I can make a decent showing though ;)
btw flintboomer the elk steak was great. next time I see you I'll bring the speed goat steak for you to try chrrs

You're keerect about the eye situation. Every year I see more fuzz when I sight on a target. I went out today with a rifle I acquired in the mid 60s just to shoot my target and come back home. It hadn't been exercised in about three years but is very accurate. Well, I fired two shots and had a "rifle malfunction", worn out spring, etc. I'll try again this week if I can get an afternoon without rain like today. I'll take my EV flintlock which is super reliable. Them cap guns just can't be counted on (with exceptions, of course). I guess guns can get old and not work just like people. srndr
Just received this target from Flintboomer, Remember you do not have to send me your actual targets, you can scan them as a PDF also, as long as i can print it out in Letter format the dimensions will allow me to figure out who is the winner...
Sweet Shootin'. Way to go Flintboomer.

shot myn whith 62 smoothy over my sholder backwardes one leg and blind folded can ya top that one
Ok, so my target is shot. It was shot with Flintboomer's .50 Hawken at the range he shoots at. All in all it was a great afternoon. Lots of talking, fair amount of shooting, and we even got to sit and watch a decent pair of Bighorn rams on the cliff face across the road from the range. I'll get it in the mail today. He even pulled a few nice trout out of the creek by the range while he was waiting for me to get there. flwa
Ok, finally got the targets printed. Printed 10 of them just in case. Anyway. Shot as soon as I got home this morning after clearin out a 50 yard range. I live out in the county on my own 9 acres. I work graveyard shift and was gettin pretty tired by the time I got dun. It was also gettin hot too. Mine is not the best in the world, but lookin at that teeny target way off down there, I was amazed that I hit it at all. Please note that there be two balls almost through the same hole. They was back to back shots. It was great to burn some powder again. Hadn't shot since last year. This just reminds me that I gotta do it more often.... Thanks again.... spitpatch...

Deaddawg, I tried the dark background and it worked splendidly! It is much easier to see the holes in a dark color background. Now I just have to try and get one or two ON THE WHITE TARGET! rdfce
Faxed my target :applause:
Finally got mine in the mail or I should Blue Bird did. We had it in an envelope since last Sunday just couldn't remeber to take oit ti the post office
I may have to pull out, cant find the datburn target and runnin outa time........
Target is on the first post in the thread....
I have 3 targets as of this morning plus mine and Lady Bulldogs... Still plenty of time, remember if you can scan your target you can email it of me or even fax it just ask me for the number.
all I ask is that if you can place a sheet of dark paper behind the target so I can get clearly defined bullet holes... As you can see by this Target from Sherpa it is difficult to make out the holes
Thanks bruda, try to get it done today.
well, I am in need of glasses I think. Cant hardly see the red dot anymore at 50 yards. It wont let me email it so I am gona try to post it here, if that dont work then its goin in the mail.
hntr Got the mornin off, went ta the range, and low and behold my second target managed to catch all five, and yuh for an old welders eyes that sheet of paper sure looks small at 50, could just barely see the centre, ain't no Danl Boone but had a good mornin anyways, "Rose" was doin her part, I just tried ta keep up, just dropped it in the mail, hope ya gets it in time, thanks for including me, this was fun, Whats next???? hntr hdslp hntr hdslp hntr prty
Sorry for the target being so dang hard to read, I should have known to put something behind it. Live & learn! slep rdfce

Was not a big issue just makes it easier on these ol eyes
I just finished my target up. Can I just send a picture of it through email?
The only gripe I have is that the target is pretty hard to see for those of us that are getting up in years. By the time I was focused on the front sight I could barely see the center at 50 yards. About half the time I was just holding on the middle of the paper and hoping for the best. Something with a little larger and darker bull would work better.
HELP! My printer just will not work. I do have a shot up copy of this target from way back. Can I just trace a facsimile and use that?
I can send you the target in a different format, or is your printer refusing to print anything at all?
Hanshi,
Check you PM's I have sent you the target in JPEG format. See if you can print it now.

As an afterthought I attached the target as a jpeg file.

Got it no problem - Nice shooting
OK I want to thank everyone who is shooting... and all the comments about the target.... Well I did not choose the target to be easy and a little challenge is a good thing for us... I can not even see the red bull at 50 yards and Patience is still shooting low and to the right so It will be a Kentucky windage shoot at (to me) a blank sheet of paper...
If anyone wants to provide a better target for next time be my guest... Still looking for volunteers to be the Judge for when we decide to have another shoot

Sorry Rick, yours was the first one I received so I naturally thought it was junk mail and tossed it out in the trash... ROFL Fixed the standings post, and have all the targets I received scored as of today. I need date shot and who on the targets or on a note please... received one via email that took some tracking down and I'm not sure if I am correct
Aint lookin like I'm gonna make it. Dont think the folks livin near the range would like hearin shots goin off after dark, an the local sheriff might not be to understanding.
Voy
sorry about leaving off the date. Sent same day shot, so just check E=mail date for shot date..Looks like most of us are 39-44pt. shooters...got a 42 on the off hand target I sent to NMLRA july postal shoot too.
Doug
Mine was shot on 7/24/10.
Badger, My target was shot on the 16th.
Sorry guys, but it looks like my next opportunity to shoot will be the weekend after the match ends, up at El Verano. It is a "Rondy" but more of a shoot. All the AZ clubs get together & each club puts on a match. Loads of fun.
Anyway, I will be unable to meet the deadline...
I put my target in the mail last Saturday. Just wonderin iffin it made it to ya?
Thanks.. spitpatch
Draw a fine bead on em Son.... Bobby
Robbie,
Got it on Friday... Pony express is slow around here...
dntn I just mailed off my target; don't know how long it will take to get there. I am embarrassed rdfce at my performance. But I can't kneel so my kneeling position was wobbly and painful. I figure I can at least make everyone else look good.
We GOT to tar & feather the sadist who suggested kneeling position! [hmm] 'shok'

Haven't been able to make it back to the range. Sorry but I won't be sending in a target.
hdslp Heeyy Red badger,sent my target via email.This day sucked for shooting,Penny acted up the whole time.Took me 2 hours to shoot the target.Normally i can shoot 10 rounds without wiping the bore.Today after one shot could not ram load home.Humidity is off the scale here,anybody know if that could be the cause?I even got out my ol faithful TC Hawken,it did the same thing. [hmm]Normal cloverleaf group looked like a huge sunflower. ROFL ROFL
ROFL If anybody's havin trouble kneelin, do what I did (Fall down-try to get up-and low and behold- half way up I was kneelin!!) ROFL
Ok unless my sense of time is off the shoot is officially over.
Look over on the results page to see what the scores were...
and Hawkin50's target...
I see the results, but not mine.???? I know it looks like only 4 shots, but there are 2 through the same hole, just about. Iffin ya look real close that 2nd shot is there... Sorry to be a pain, but just like to be included.... LOL..

Hey Hawkin50 Ol' Buddy, at least we hit the paper ROFL hntr ROFL , I don't know 'bout you but I had fun prty, I definitely gots some work ta do to catch up ta some of yous sharpshooters, but not bad I figure for a half blind Ol' Welder with a hand made rifle-gun,What's Next, Thanks fer including me thmbsup

strpot ROFL Well,naultrick1,my favorite brother from the far north.I'd a shot al lot better but the sun was in my eyes,the clouds were shadowing my front sight,the wind was blowing the wrong way,and i kept thinkin that ol Red Badger was sneakin up on my jug coolin in the crick.Well.........thats my story an ima stivkin to it.

[hmm] Just remembered it twas my unworthy self that suggested kneeling position. Bring on the tar and feathers, anyway; I deserve it. Kneeling use to be okay. My target will punish me pretty good, though. I once shot a one shot group at 100 yards under 1/2" from kneeling bs.

Ok after looking at it with a magnifying glass, a microscope, and the quart of home brew you sent me ( thmbsup) I do see the possibility of a double tear in the picture...

Now , I'd like to enter the next PS , The problem I have is I'm on medication that causes my vision to be worse than usual and 25 yards is pushing the extent of my focus , so if we could have a shoot at that distance I might get a hole or two on the paper . :'( Also , standing OFF-HAND , or off a STAFF OR STICKS would work . (susp) I wouldn't normally do so much whineing srndr but it's been kinda a tuff couple of years health wise :qz: Oh! while I'm doing all this whineing , how about using 3"x5" index cards with a X and 3 shots onlly ! fncg This set-up might help out a few other "mature" folks .
I kinda like this one for next time:

Congrats to the winner.
Does that mean we have one WINNER and the rest are WHINERS? :-)
I was happy with all but one shot on my target, but it was fun trying, and Sherpa and I found a reason to meet up and shoot together. Finding a new friend is always a good thing!

Now that it has been made official, it's my turn to congratulate Micanopy. Great target, great shooting.
Never like to congratulate someone before it becomes official, saves embarrassment.
CONGRATS!!!!!!!! That's some darn good shootin! flwa

Ya done good at puttin some paper in da freezer. Poor thing never stood a chance. Good shootin.
Wish I could have gotten out to shoot but just didnt have the time. Maybe next time I will get a chance.

I want to thank all who participated - I know it was rough with the heat all over the country.
Micanopy your prize should be in the mail this weekend, depending on L.B.'s schedule.
[hmm] Shouldn't I get kudos for shooting the lowest score? It takes hard work to become a bad shot. 'SNTY"
Hanshi, now I know why I'm so tired after a shooting session. (susp) All this time I thought it was just old age ! [hmm]
