I have an XP100 with a 4X Leupold scope in 7mm BR. But it has been years since I shot Silhouette.

Glad to hear you did so well shooting Big Bore. Looking at the scores last night it appears Kdiver had quite a day too.
See y'all in Gainesville next week.

Kdiver58 upped his Unlimited score by four for his second BB match, and hit one more Ram in addition. But it was in the wrong bank! Not an uncommon boo-boo, especially when shooting them whilst clamped in place. (Eases the work load on our target setter on hot days by a considerable margin as they weigh about 55 lbs each!) Would have mentioned it earlier, but it was with an iron sighted .25 BR XP100, so isn't exactly S&W pertinent. Still, being in the mid-30s isn't bad for morale, esp. after living in the land of frustration that is Field Pistol! (It's so difficult no is known to have shot a perfect score since it's inception over thirty years ago. FPAS has had a few perfect scores. though.)

That's all nice and libtarded of you, but if you don't post scores, our ranks have diminished. There's just not all that many of us left! S. Keuhl even posted his revolver score of 3. And that's fine.

Don't you miss the gratification of making the steel go down? Far better than punching paper, and not bad practice for hunting season (especially shooting those 1/2 scale targets!), even though the distances are rather further than I would shoot game.

l used to punch paper as a benchrest shooter. Great practice for Prairie Dogs.

As for keeping score, l remember the early days in the 70s of IHMSA ...
We used to get little pins/medals for 'five or ten straight targets'...
Try as l did, always seemed to miss one... Don't care about ANY sport
that involves keeping score...That's work....l'm here for F U N

Did anybody do photos this month? Sorry to report I got distracted with other stuff again. Still ciphering on how to do a good video clip showing the huge delay between pulling the trigger and having a lead .44 bullet topple a Ram.

Tis a pity tho..Jay and Kdiver performing as
Winston Churchill would say, ''ln Their Finest Hour'' but no pics :-(
