Title: I'm back, Did I miss anything?
Post by: Majer on September 19, 2010, 09:35:07 PM
Hey Y'all,
Was away for a couple days shooting our  SASS State Championship. I ended up 54th overall out of 280 shooters and 11th in my category. I also won the Long Range Black Powder Lever Action Rifle side match.All in all I had a great time and got to see some old friends again.

Hey Haz, How You been? The course of fire was 5 shots timed on a SASS Buffalo target at about 150 yards standing using iron sights I hit 3 out of 5 in just over 7 seconds. The load I used was a 405 grain bullet over 60 grains of FFg with a wonder wad and Winchester Large Magnum Rifle primer.

What caliber?  (405 Win?)  3/5 standing with irons is right good!  Heck I doubt I could see the durn things!

Been good, Maj. (and busy, thankfully!). 

Making (and drinking) beer has become a fun hobby.

 How bout yerself?  Staying out of trouble? (hope not! ;) )
