Postal Shoot?

Hanshi · April 13, 2019, 07:52:51 PM

It's starting to warm up and spring is already here. Anyone interested in a MAY postal shoot? Not easy to do in thigh deep snow but that is now over. The only reason I brought this up is because one of my rifles asked me about it the other day and I said I'd check on it. Ooookay, so I have.

Sure, Hanshi. You haven't kicked my butt for quite a while now. Let's do it.

Maybe this year you guys can go for the highest score. Just sayin'.

Hanshi · April 14, 2019, 08:04:18 PM

Highest score? You mean a real hole in the paper this time? Now, I did once shoot a 2" group at 100 yards for 5 shots. I was at the 95 yard line at the time; but, hey, still 5 shots & 100 yards! Just saying.

Holy Crow! 5 shots at a 100 yards? I'm lucky if I can get a group at 50.

Outline the rules and I'll think about it.

Oh Oh. Your are asking Hanshi to set the rules?

Guess this makes 3 of us in the game so far.

The normal range for our postal matches is 25 yds for offhand and 50 for bench rest.

Strange that the first post that I read in a while is about postals. I think that I must have heard Flintboomer's rifle as well. Mine are not talking to me for feeling neglected.

Hanshi · April 18, 2019, 08:55:32 PM

I'm game for a good ol' fashion 25 & 50 yard shoot. Rules should specify; 1. a loaded gun. 2. flint, cap or match. 3. paper targets with markings.

Mine are feeling a bit neglected

and have been calling my name lately.

The usual 600yd target reduced?

Does anyone have a good novelty target that they like and can provide a link to?

We were going to use Hanshi's forum picture, but since he is using a picture of me and claiming it's him, well maybe we won't.

I might be convinced to give it a go.... Who is gonna judge it?

russell shaffer · April 22, 2019, 03:22:01 AM

Well, since it was Hansi's idea?

And he is setting the rules after all.

Blackfeet · April 23, 2019, 02:35:23 AM

It would seem that there is not a fight over who gets to collect and post scores so if no one objects, I will receive and post scores. I may not get to shoot in May due to an upcoming back surgery but can certainly do the scoring.

Blackfeet · April 25, 2019, 04:11:10 AM

Wow, not even crickets. Now I know how to silence a thread without even trying

I will respectfully withdraw my offer, perhaps it is time to exit stage left. If someone picks up the ball I will try to participate if able.
