Nice photos on facebook.

Who put up pics and where? Can't find them.

I also enjoyed the day, from the camaraderie the shooting and the chili, which I tasted all the way home. Agree, couldn'have been a much better way to spend a mid winter day.

I saw the pics on fb. Really nice!

Big John,

I was at the shoot Saturday, one of the Kentucky boys and it was a nice day and a great bunch of shooters. Hats off to Robin Warner for putting together a great shoot.

The shoot was a 10 shot match. I  shot a 5.657" string.                                     

As for equipment I shoot a .40 cal -  15/16" x 38" - 1 in 48 twist Wayne Jenkins barrel,  Chamber's Left Hand Percussion  Lock, Davis Set Triggers and an Ash Half Stock. The gun weighs 9.7   pounds.   

I shoot a .395 round ball, .023 denim patch and 27.5 grains of 3F Olde Eynseford Black Powder.

Still hunting for that magical  combination that will shoot spiders all the time.

Mark,

I saw them on the NMLRA Facebook page.

" I saw them on the NMLRA Facebook page."
That's where I was looking at them also. Looks like a bunch of good time guy's!!

Averaging .579" per shot is holding them in there pretty good! You Kaintuck boys have your sights set! I think Carl said he had a .565" average?
I have been shooting two different rifles.
First one is a modern under hammer in .54 cal.. I was shooting 85 grns. 3F Goex with .535 ball and .21 canvas patch in a Ed Rahyl barrel. New gun so it hasn't shot many shots thru it yet.
Second rifle is an old style under hammer from Deer Creek in .45 cal. using 55grns 3F Goex, .490 ball and .21 canvas patch. I have a peep sight temporarily mounted on this rifle. It is also a new gun and not had many shots thru it.
I think the peep sight will do well once I get them figured out.
Gerald, Richard and Dewayne are stepping things up on the west side!!

 

Ladies and gentlemen
After the midwinter table shoot I began to do a lot of soul-searching. There were some mistakes made in tabulating the scores these mistakes belong solely to me, and for that I apologize. Now with that being said, we did have technical problems with the computer and had to use another one which was not quite set up to do what we wanted it to do so we had to improvise and do the best we could in the translation from one computer to another. There were some scoring errors made. If you will look in the Shoot Results section of the message board, you will find the scores as they are correct.

I want you to read the following and you know who you are. This is not necessarily directed at the masses (therefore the masses should not take offense to the following) as much it is against my grain to do it in this fashion. Yet it must be. I know that many of you truly appreciate having the shoots put on and being able to participate. However, there are a few who are so dedicated to winning that it has nearly taken the fun out of it for me. And that's where the soul-searching begins. Just about 72 hours after the last shoot was over, I received a call from a person who was not even on the grounds that had already heard that an individual immediately left our shoot and went down to another and begin to complain to other shooters. This shooter had told me many times. Don't worry about these things happen. It's all right. Well I guess he was worried about it, and it was not all right. In order that this may be avoided in the future, the following steps will be taken. The scorekeeping team will be removed to a place of privacy (away from the fun) were shooter inquiries will not hinder their efforts. After the scores are carefully tabulated. There will be a 15 minute protest time allotment. At the end of this protest time any prizes or payouts will be made. It was always my intent to make shooting fun following the words of wisdom given us by Merrill Deer "Don't let the shooting, get in the way of having fun."  Once again, speaking to the few and not the masses. Those who do not like the way the shoots are being run, are more than welcome to call me. Private message me or email me and I will be glad to let you run the next shoot, there's more to it than you think.. I feel better now.

I 2nd Tony's comments.

I've been involved in a lot of shoots over many years and almost always the scoring folks are always away from the action so that they can do their jobs unencumbered by outside influences and after the final scores have been posted there has been a 15-20 minute protest time to make score adjustments if needed. I would think that all of us would fully support you in your efforts to make the shoots go more smoothly.

Robin ...
I agree with Carl! I also have been involved in numerous shoots. Muzzleloading or .22 matches or shotgun shoots, they are all the same. There seems to be a few in each venue that want to stir things up. They will eventually stir their way out when they find out everyone else is having a fun time but them.
We had a .22 match benched at 60 yrds. closest to the X. The girls scoring would let them watch them score but they couldn't comment until the targets were recorded and then we would hand them all back so the shooters could see how they shot. 40 shooters shooting 10 cards on a Friday night was lots of scoring! Yes there was mistakes once in awhile but 99.99% of the time they were right on!  We paid (meat) each round and  then the short string (3 places). This quickly elevated itself from good .22's to expensive .22's! They quickly found out they couldn't but wins!
You also know that good help is hard to come by!
Keep up your good work and things will be alright.
There are a couple of us that would like to come and have some fun back in your direction. Maybe 2016 will see this happen.
Big John
