It was the LAST damned shot that ruined a good target!

It is a mental thing. You won't let yourself be that good. You are not worthy. Remember shooting is 95% mental.

There's one in every crowd....

I usually throw one (or two) but not usually on the last shot.

My all favorite target shooting and PPC revolver's are two of my M15's (actually one is a Combat Masterpiece). I was out at the range last week and was competing against a friend & shooting buddy in an informal match shooting for lunch. He is a great shot and not easy to beat.

We shot at 50 feet on B-3 NRA targets and I was shooting 18 rounds of my 158 grain RNL hand loads. I threw the last shot and that resulted in a tie. We both paid for our own lunches and that was that. I have throw the last shot a few times lately - I guess I need to work on that last trigger pull.

Used to have a shooting buddy - passed away some time ago - and I was always amazed how he could shoot a half dollar sized hole in a B-27 and just kept on shooting thru that same hole. But he was on the Indiana Govenor's Top Twenty shooter's list for several years.

No matter what, I wouldn't want to be a "bad guy" standing in front of you!

You did the honorable thing in not throwing the last shot off target.

For me it was the first round.
This was the first time I ever fired my M-58.
The target was 100 ft away.
I have no idea where the first round went but I was happy with the next five.

A long time ago, I wanted to hunt grizzly bears with a S&W M29-2 4 inch. Talked to a guide about it. His advice to me was when I could keep all six shots in a 9 inch paper plate at 100 yards I was good enough and to call him back. I practiced until I could do so. Never did call him back as life (read family, wife, kids and career) got in the way.

1. just take a close up that doesn't include the flyer
2. photoshop as stated above
3. claim a mulligan and forget about it (at 78 I give myself 1 mulligan every mag - blame it on eyes, wind, tremors, whatever)
4. I don't shoot nearly as good a group as you do - nice shooting (ignoring that mulligan)

5. Shoot your last shot . . . . .FIRST!

 

[John T]

Take the last shot first? Lol!
Nice group!

That's some great shooting. I would be happy with that even if I had to buy lunch.
