Freep mail to you - I'm in.

[CapandBall]

Sign me up for the pistol shoot. I'll be happy to send back co$t with my targets. Advise when we are locked and I'll send a mailing address.

Thanks - great idea!

Add M1911 for 16.

That's all folks ! I've only got 100 targets coming.

[CapandBall]

Hey m1911, your place or mine? I think I'll be shooting my .45LC for the center fire.

[freedomlover]

Any Atlanta area freepers in the lot? I'm in Roswell although I plan on shooting in Dahlonega. If anyone would like to try to shoot together let me know.

[m1911]

I don't know if PeacePipe would appreciate the noise around the young'n, but you have a great 25 yd. range. You know what I'll be shooting for centerfire...

[CapandBall]

I climbed a mountain in Dahlonega called Springer, then followed an old trail from it's peak all the way to Katahdin ME. Nice area of GA you live in.

[CapandBall]

My place it is.
I'm thinking of splurging on store bought ammo, I'll be needing all the help I can get, and the 100+/- fps we are getting from the reloads won't improve my aim.

[NY.SS-Bar9]

I'm thinking of splurging on store bought ammo...

STORE BOUGHT !!!

Anyone using store bought ammo has to shoot at 35 yds, using their non-dominant hand and eye and a three pound weight on the wrist.

Just kidding

[m1911]

What about the strobe lights in the eyes?

[NY.SS-Bar9]

The strobe light is only for those using barrel lengths greater than 2-1/2"

[CapandBall]

What would be the handicap with an 18.5" barrel?

[umgud]

Them's some long silhouette guns. I'm shooting a 6 1/2 inch BlackHawk and 4 inch Taurus......... I don't have a chance against those. Hell, I probably don't have a chance against most others either. BTW, Guns & Ammo magazine's December issue has the Taurus 12 inch on the cover.

[m1911]

God bless those wacky Brits.

[NY.SS-Bar9]

I was able to get out and practice with the new targets and did rather well if I say so myself !

Actually, the targets are not in yet, so the earliest I can get them will be Wednesday (Monday is a holiday & I work late Tuesday)

[Trapdoor Billy]

Love the smell of Black Powder in the morning. :)

[NY.SS-Bar9]

The targets came in yesterday, I will pick them up tonight and mail them out tomorrow. Rules and instructions will be included.

Good luck to all!

I have to ask what that picture is (maybe I'm not looking at it right - I can't figure out the shadows). Is the wood table top showing through the shot-out star hole?
