Hmm, I might actually think about this one. If there's no age-limit anyway. And if I get a chance to go shoot this month. (They closed the local range to the public. You have to be a member now. Why?!)

Also depends on if I can actually hit anything. It's a .45 BP revolver shooting a round ball, so the accuracy gets a bit shaky sometimes.

Clarification request : What do you mean by off-hand? If I'm a right handed shooter does that mean I need to shoot with my left hand? It really isn't very clear...

Thanks in advance for the help.

My understanding, and according to Chuck Hawks: shooting offhand (that is, from a standing position without a rest).

That is, standing, unsupported by anything other than your body parts.

This looks like fun. Mind if an Idaho guy plays along?
BillH | Homepage | 07.04.07 - 7:34 pm | #

So do tell.. what exactly is meant by "off hand"?

I interpreted that to mean "single handed" (strong hand), but now I'm not sure. Does it single (Weak hand) handed?"?

Oh, and dang those circles become small at 25 ft!

Danno - See two comments above.

Off hand is standing, unsupported. So in this contest, both targets are shot standing, unsupported - one is shot two handed, the other is one handed.

And Idahoians are by all means welcome, BillH!

I do not have either a scanner or digital abilities. Can I just mail the targets to you?

Thanks

Hmmmmm.
Got a friend with a digital camera, maybe? They're fairly cheap, anymore.
Some even less than $30.

No offense, but I don't give out my real address (or name, for that matter), to strangers.

I've had a few death threats from (admittedly a very few) people on this site, and my family comes first, hence my reticence.

If you have another avenue, I am more than willing.
jimmyb | Homepage | 07.12.07 - 5:33 pm | #

All of my friends are old buzzards like me & not in touch with tech type stuff.

I understand about the address. I have a private mail box for that very reason. It boggles my mind about the death threat mentality, but after watching Kenndy jr's rant at the live earth fracas, I guess I shouldn't be surprised at anything.

I'll check with office depot & see if the can scan it to a disc, if so then I'll be all set.

Have a good one.

Merle
Merle | 07.12.07 - 6:02 pm | #

You too, Merle.

And office depot might scan it and email it for you, even. Can't hurt to ask, eh?
jimmyb | Homepage | 07.13.07 - 11:16 am | #

Well, I got it scanned in & saved to a floppy. Problem is when I open it up, the holes are barely visible. Guess I'll have to go back & get them to crank up the intensity.

Merle | 07.13.07 - 6:58 pm | #

Send them to me and we'll see what they look like!
jimmyb | 07.14.07 - 10:46 am | #

OK, I'll give it a try

Thanks
