Black Powder Cartridge Rifle Silhouette January 2021 Match

Hello All,

Well we just had our silhouette match. Fantastic weather, but we all struggled with that South sun. Well, Wally got his rifle fixed from after the front sight fell off in the last match in November. You all know him, he didn’t have time to come out and re-zero it. With no dope setting on his rifle and he still wins the match. We also would like to thank our new target setter, Brooke N.  She didn’t do to bad re-setting the big bore target.

We all had a good time and a lot of laughs. After all that is what a match should be all about, friendship, shooting against yourself and having a fun time. See you at the next match

Black Powder Cartridge Rifle Silhouette November 2020 Match

Hello Shooters,

Well we just had our silhouette match. Fantastic weather, but we all struggled with that South sun. By noon the targets just blended in with the background, a combination of haze and south sun. Combine that with the rivalry between myself and Jeff Kirkwood and you have a perfect set-up for “Nag’s” to instigate, which he did. While Jeff and I were comparing the others score to see how we were doing against each other, Nag’s just kept whittling away at each of us. We were so pre-occupied with each other we never noticed the “dark  horse” sneaking by us on the  outside. Add my front sight falling off on the last relay and I came in a poor 3rd, Jeff had a strong second place, then we looked up to a grinning “Nag’s” who came in first. My only conciliation is that I got high chicken score, The bottom line is we all had a roaring good time and a lot of laughs. After all that is what a match should be all about, friendship, shooting against yourself and having a fun time. See you at the next match
