Looks like your a happy camper Somokey.

Smokin Guns · 04-09-2003, 06:44 PM

I'm happy to be lurn'in some new thangs about BP...

Smokin Guns · 05-04-2003, 06:12 PM

...go head to head with anyone wanting a little competition...I'll just be shooting...the real competition will have to join up...Let me know...

bigboom338 · 05-05-2003, 02:28 PM

SG so what are the rules? I am an open sight shooter but am game for this. Range? #of shots etc. You guys are gonna force me to buy a digital camera yet

armedandsafe · 05-05-2003, 07:21 PM

Cute lil Traditions there, lad. 50 or 54?

Have you used it with that sling, yet. Thinking of making one of those for #3 son's BP.

Smokin Guns · 05-06-2003, 06:00 AM

bb338, let's start at 50 yds, i'll take the scopes off...A&S...it's a T/C .50...and I haven't shot it yet...

armedandsafe · 05-06-2003, 11:56 AM

Hmmmm It looks just like my son's Tradions 50. We have found the best load for ball in his to be just a whisper over 70gr Pyrodex RS (Can't get real BP here.)

50 yds, open sights, eh? Sounds like a winner. Best 3 out of 5 target group or splitting match sticks?

Smokin Guns · 05-06-2003, 06:30 PM

Here's the other one...Knight in-line .54 cal.,...I'll take the scopes off or leave em on,depending on any which way Ya'll want to shoot...best 3 out 5 no problem'o, anyway Ya'll want...

Smokin Guns · 05-06-2003, 06:32 PM

I think I'll attach the pic...

armedandsafe · 05-06-2003, 07:02 PM

Sounds good to me. (I can't see matchsticks at 50 yards, anymore, anyway.

) Fire 5 rounds at one target, measure the best 3 round group, using centers and ship it? Iron or fiber sights only? With gost-ring/peep sights allowed? Target signed by shooter? Did I miss anything?

When do we start and when do we cut off?

READY ON THE RIGHT

Smokin Guns · 05-06-2003, 07:18 PM

I'm hoping we can make this an all spring, summer, fall event...Halloween should be the cut-off...do you have a digital camera?...

armedandsafe · 05-06-2003, 10:01 PM

Yes, I have a digital cam. It's pretty small, though. Don't know if I can hit it 3 times out of 5 at.......OH

Yes, I have a digital cam. Sometimes, it actually works. If it decides to not, I'l just use one of the old standby's and scan in the shot of the target.

bigboom338 · 05-06-2003, 11:50 PM

well I shot today before I saw the rest of the rules,as it turned out I shot a 5 shot group and I had 2 fliers and 3 that hung together nicely.I will get a pic and try to post it but it may be a while, cause I dont have a digital yet.

armedandsafe · 05-07-2003, 02:09 PM

That's why I speced the 3 out of 5 rule. That is common with me, too (although sometimes it is 4 flyers

)

We'll use the flyers to break a tie.

READY ON THE LEFT?

armedandsafe · 05-09-2003, 07:55 PM

I'll try, SG. Still catching up from my down time with the flu. I should be able to get out for a little, though.
I have another digital camera coming which I scored on ebay tonight. It is a Vivatar dual (digital and 35mm.) Hope it gets here in time for the big do at Ys.

armedandsafe · 07-03-2003, 03:34 PM

Managed to get out to shoot this morning. Left the targets and target stand sitting in the driveway. didn't matter though, because the rear sight came loose. Popped the first 3 ballons, then couldn't hit a 50 gallon drum. GRRRRRRR
