2014 three shot challenge

So now you've stepped up the challenge....we have to make videos :) ......darn I'll have to get a haircut :)

My friend swears his ML shoots better with a 'fouled barrel' ...your results indicate that there might be something to it :)

I've always shoot at raised targets....3-4' off the ground....I wonder if it's easier to shot down onto a target ....have to try that this summer.

I have to get on the range this week to work up a BP Turkey load for my 12ga ML...if the weather holds I'll get the .45 out and do a submission to the 3 shot challenge...if I can hit the paper I'll be happy :)

Good shooting HA....you've sure set the bar for 2014 !!!

LOL No bar being set here Mike. Just getting out and making smoke. Fun and relaxing is really what it is!!!:thumbup:

The scary thing is I was shooting that muzzle loader better than I was shooting my 45-70 this morning.:scream: But.....in the 45-70's defence, I'm still working up a nice soft load for long range dinging. By that I mean 0-400 yds. I know with my other CB it'll shoot moa at 100 but with a much heavier load and that would be no fun for a target load.:sad: It is also scoped but the one this morning has a Soule Vernier style sight on it. It's a work in progress.


HA

Nice shooting, Aaron!

OK..stole a shepherds hook from the garden and an old 6" cast iron frying pan.....figured it would make a good Gong and save me walking back and forth to see where I hit, I'd know by sound.

Works... except I didn't hit very often..only 1 of 3 ...hahaha

Here's my first entry for the season:

That's a great idea, Mike!

Oh dam I'm torn. :sad: On one hand I want to say great idea with the pan.;) On the other hand, I love my cast iron pans and would never consider shooting at them.:scream: Even old rusty one's can be revived and put back into service.:thumbup:

As for the shooting, is that the hit splatter high on the pan? Well that isn't quite as bad as my Ugly were I went 0 for 3. :shy:

Keep at it Mike!!

HA

OK HA..I don't know why this took so much effort, but to pull the video off the 'Point and Shoot', get it into a proper format, then get it put on a depository to be able to post on here hurt my brain. Should be easier the second time.

Just a shorty clip of my 'hit' on the 'gong' at 5O yds free standing...keep your eye on the centre wood panel, you can just see the brown dot (frying pan)...take 1...LOL...

edit add: I pick up those cast iron pans at estate auctions for next to nothing....use them for the .22 :)

Yes HA, in the previous pic, the hole up at the top left (by the handle)..the bullet hit right on the seam of the side/bottom. Took out a fair sized chunk.
