...........I guess I orta do one, as I noticed in a post Deputy Al made on the pistol forum about "No Range Report" and how it was just so much fun. So okay.
Deputy Al won. There, that's out of the way :lol: The 4 of us shot 10 rounds in rotation at the 11x14" 200 meter gong. Simple. You hit, you score and the non-shooters spotted the shooter. So Al was shooting a M94 Winchester in thoity-thoity. This was all offhand, iron sights.
It was a sudden death run off between Al and Glen, as me and Larry did pretty poopy, to be kind about it. Oh heck yes I have a super alibi. You bet. Larry was shooting his grandads 1886 Win 45-70, issue sights. Glen was shooting a Win M70 Supergrade 30-06 with a Lyman 48 and apurture up front. I believe Al had a peep rear.
So now the best part is that I brought a box of nicely accurate 45-70 ammo my 1884 Trapdoor really likes (23.0 surp SR4759 + dacron, RCBS 300gr FNGC). However, I neglected to bring the Trapdoor and instead brought the 45-90 Sharps. Go figure that one out and get back to me. I'm still working on it at this end [smilie=p:
I think I hit the plate once, to come in dead last.
