It's FUNDAY!

Post by Noisydad » 30 Aug 2015, 7:08 am

It's our club's "Mid range Gong Shoot" today. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! :D Time to stretch the legs of our Sharps, Remington rolling blocks, Winchester 1885 high walls and other "Buffalo" rifles and it's Lady Noisy's first comp with her Pedersoli Sharps in .45-70. All four events will be shot off cross sticks while sitting on a wooden "milking stool". Two targets will be at 300 yards one at 500 and one at 600 and not a telescopic sight anywhere!. I'll try and get some pics and maybe some video.
