    Handgun matches

    Anyone interested in shooting some handgun postal matches around here?

    Offhand? BR? Open sight? Scoped? Rimfire? Big bore?

    A postal match or two was what I had in mind....(cast boolit of course, except for rimfire)

    Let's see if there's any interest...

    Off hand as far as you want. If you get out there, we will need bigger than 8 1/2" X 11"

    I will shoot what ever.

    All you need to hunt bears,even grizz is a .22 cal handgun--even a small derringer. Key is dont hunt alone. If a bear attacks, all you need to be able to do is outrun your buddy and you use the handgun to shoot him/her in the leg.

    Which discipline?

    Well, it looks like there's enough interest, next step is formats...

    Any druthers?
    How about:

    Offhand 25 yds

    BR open sight 25 yds

    BR scope 50 yds

    BR would be groups size of course, but which target do we want for offhand?


    Rimfire and C/F different targets?

    Believe it or not, I only have one double action! It is a 32-20 Dan Wesson, I guess I could swap the barrel on it and shoot the short and long classes My other pistols are single shots, single actions or my old .45 auto that I built from parts about 20 years ago.

    I'm glad to see my phone conversations with Ray, are sinking in! I notice he can still out run sheep, though.
