So the Government has rushed through some poorly constructed legislation not only banning Military Style Semi- automatics but any attached or detached magazine over a 10 round capacity. This affected a whole range of leverguns including my Rossi octagonal in .357/.38 which takes 12+1. Everyone is ta...

That is a 91 Shasta - 1X I think yours is the highest score this month. Griff?

KiwiKev

With a percussion muzzled loaded shotgun did they put the shot on top of a ball. Either way the risk for leakage would have been very high. I would imagine the ball would not be in there two tightly. Did they even use a patch?

This is very strange! Rose Dunn AKA Rose of Cimmeron looks very similar to a Kiwi comedian Rose Matafeo https://cdn.detonate.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/c12c629388d56788fce2b37206bb2f82.jpg Rose of Cimmeron http://www.fq.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/LOL-01-1.jpg Rose Matafeo, the one in the m...

I remember getting something like that when I was about four. I remember being really frustrated because it would not go in a straight line for long. "A train needs tracks", I remember thinking.

KiwiKev

I saw this shotgun in a museum today. It had two barrels and four hammers? I would be interested to discover whether anyone knows anything about it? The strangest thing I have ever seen!

KiwiKev

Hi Earlmck, I calculate your family best as 68. (That is Cathy's) According to the rules a paper hit equals a 7. What do you think Griff? Your last group, though low, was very good.

KiwiKev

Confirm your 90 Griff, well done.

KiwiKev

Here it is "summer" today it is windy but I went out for a shoot anyway. I read that folk in the US have been experiencing some extreme weather conditions. I cannot imagine shooting in freezing conditions would be fun! I managed to get nine on the paper, I don't know where the 10th went! I...

Managed to get out morning here is my first offering for the month.

Happy Birthday!

November has been a bit thin. Still keen to roll over to the December shoot. November has been been rubbish here with earthquakes, floods and strong winds. Not the best for calm target shooting!

Dad sent me to the corner store to buy his smokes for him. They sold low alcoholic beer (1.5 %) to kids TVs had a vertical and horizontal hold knob. You could bike down high street with a gun on your back. The police would happily beat up the crooks as a way of keeping down crime. (mainly the member...

As initiator of the original competition my preference is to keep it as it is instead of heading off on endless tangents. See the rules.

KiwiKev

Well done Shasta, that is very good shooting.

KiwiKev

Okay, once we declared the winner for the October Shoot (Shasta 95?) will you take that thread down and post a November shoot?

KiwiKev

Surprised we have not got a lot more. Maybe folks are wanting to see how the first round goes. October has been pretty wet and windy here. Twp more days!

Will we just announce the November competition in the same thread?

KiwiKev

Good shooting Griff. Interesting pattern the second one you posted with a score of 63. Top score 91

Brilliant shooting Shasta. Just shows what you can do with a levergun.

I am watching a series about the Japanese occupying the west coast and a nazis occupying the east coast of the good olde USA. I am surprised they did not get Edward VIII to be the new King. I think they entertained the thought if they invaded England. Anyway this is how we could do it. Have a refere...

Interestingly Aussies don't use the "U" True on the chips and beer Real men play rugby Actors - no worse than British actors trying to play Americans. David Cameron - "Love that Guy" you will too. Eliz loves the US. But do you want Charlie as King of America? Good luck on that one.

"San Jacinto County in Texas to arrest David Schumaker " That is is actual name not "David Schumacher". I first thought it was fake then saw the story was carried by quite a few media sites. No relation to Michael obviously as David's vehicle is the opposite of FAST........ http:...

Great shooting Tycer. And Good comments. Only hoping that more will dust of their leverguns and give the competition a crack. Interesting comment about being in the free standing position. It certainly is quite different to using a sling commonly associated with target shooting in a lying position. ...

KiwiKev

Here is our range and some bits and pieces.
The 50 yard target is on the far right. Interestingly the B6 target when moved to 50 yards is the same size as the 50m target. I have posted a few images to give folk an idea. Including a practice target which has the outline of the size of the B6 target.

KiwiKev

Here we go:
Score 87

Rule clarification Here is the difference between A4 and US Letter https://indiesew.com/img/blog/a4-vs-letter-paper/paper-size-comparison.jpg I think it is okay to score the 7 as you did hit the paper.

Well done Griff. I was hoping to start Sunday last but got rained out. Here's hoping to get started this Sunday.

KiwiKev

Just reminding everyone that the shooting competition begins this Saturday!

KiwiKev

Okay Griff, I have amended rules. I think we could just stick to the B6 target for consistency. I don't know if we need an image of their rifle. You could post an image of a rifle without a scope and then use a scope which would not be in the spirit of the competition. Let assume that we are all hon...

He is going to have an interesting conversation with his maker. At least he can no longer inflict harm here.

KiwiKev

Hi Griff, can you elaborate?

"ties broken by "X" count."

If you hit the line the hole must be over 50%?

KiwiKev

I have updated the rules in the previous post to take into account previous suggestions. Griff with the scoring can I suggest 10,9,8, and on the paper 7.

KiwiKev

SASS have a "buckaroo" category for individuals aged 13 and under. They use .22 ammo. If someone wants to set up a "buckaroo" competition that is great.

I suggest we stick to center fire .32 to .45 cal pistol.

Scopes? Refer to Rule 2.

KiwiKev

BASIC - lets keep it simple - Rules! 1. Repeating Lever-action rifle, center-fire pistol caliber ONLY (.32 to .45 cal) 2. Shot in the free standing position. (unsupported) 3. Iron sights or tang sights ONLY - no fancy stuff - scopes etc 4. B6 target. 5. 10 Shots only 6. 50 yards (ish) 7. Image of ta...

Yeah - postal kind of - a smart phone camera competition! Target info - Yes I guess we should be shooting at roughly the same kind of target!

Our club recently introduced a 50 meter Vettorli for Lever Action. The main rule is that you must shoot free-standing and must use original pistol caliber.

You have to be careful about this sort of thing. Some people have been scammed. This is how they do it. SCAM A: 1. The company gains a paper claim to your house in order to pay you a monthly sum of money. 2. The company then sells the mortgage they have taken out to another company and that company ...

Surely it comes down to what is the coolest. There is nothing cooler than a 1911. And there are ways to make an ordinary 1911 even cooler. 9mm Glock - will never be cool!
