2A Thanksgiving Shoot
« on: November 01, 2018, 08:52:04 PM »
How about a turkey shoot for Thanksgiving?   ;D

Download and print the PDF target, print on landscape and full size.


Wing 'em (wing or foot) = 1 point;  you may or may not have caught yourself a turkey dinner...
Body = 2 points;  Got turkey dinner but you just messed up some of your meat
Head/Neck = 5 points;  MMMMM  MMMM good, no meat lost, nice turkey dinner for Thanksgiving!
5 shots, 25 max points
50 yards standing rifle, or 25 yards standing pistol
extra bragging rights, if you use real/traditional black powder or unusual gun (must post pics of unusual gun)...   ;)

Post targets up before Thanksgiving so we can EAT :shaka: :shaka: :shaka: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :shaka: :shaka: :shaka:

Of course!  :thumbsup:

I’ll be shooting my S&W Model 627 .357 Magnum this Sunday. I was thinking of shooting my Nagant 1895 revolver as well so I can get extra points. However, I think I should get a special award if I shoot the Nagant. I have to aim about 2’ low in order to hit the target.  :rofl: :rofl:

from this past Saturday
don't count this one bc it sucks!!!  I know I can do better than this, but on this day this is the best I could do.   :'(
this is with my Single Ten .22LR
my GP100 had a squib load from my reloads.  turns out I had some cleaning media (crushed walnut) stuck in the brass case and it didn't ignite the powder.
good thing I recognized that it was a squib and stopped shooting, dropped a spent 22 case down the barrel, and it didn't go through, so I knew I had a squib.  took it home and hammered it out and looked at what was left in the barrel.
I gotta inspect the brass better in the future.  my first squib load.  but I think the brass polish I add is the culprit.  sometimes it is clumpy, so maybe that's what caused the walnut to get stuck
lucky.  could have been a lot worse if I kept shooting.
anyway, this is the target, but i'll be back in a couple weeks to shoot better!   :shaka:

Damn that squib could have ended a lot worst.  Good job on recognizing the "pock" instead of BANG.

I've heard stories about the RSOs on the pistol side can actually hear a squib and have stopped some shooters from continuing. Glad you were able to recognize it. We live and learn...

I went pistol side with my co-worker today.
He tried his luck but threw 2 shots off the paper.
I count 12 points on my target.
Maybe I'll try again on vet day next week.
I did leave some extra targets on thè bulletin board.
