New glasses and a better score at the Big Bore IHMSA match

[75Vette]

Anxiously waiting...I'd love to see that!!

I haven't been able to locate the video of shooting Silhouettes. That one was from 1995 (I think) and the score was a 39/40 with one shot going just over a turkey. I haven't shot Sil. much in the last few years, but they are having a match this weekend so I will go and try to make a new video to show what I'm talking about. Probably won't have the scores I had when doing it a lot though.

I went to the match last Sunday. I'm not as fast as 20+ years ago when I was doing it a lot, but still was able to hit a few. I start when they say "Fire!", then wait the 2 minutes for everyone else to finish.

Tracy is working out some issues with photos, so I'll edit this when she's gotten it figured out. It will be a few days.

Below are some videos. I'm sorry there's no sound, but Tracy is working on it...

Apologies to jaymoore, I didn't intend to take over your thread, I was just sharing a .44 load with fellow Sil. shooters. Best regards to jaymoore, sw282, 75Vette, and all the other Met. Silhouetters out there. It's great to see that some people are still shooting Metallic Silhouette, our club is down to just a few, and I have only shot rarely in past years.

 

[75Vette]

Good shootin' Toolguy. Especially shooting da. Were the rams at 100 or 200 meters in the video?

 

[Protocall_Design]

Big Bore, 200 meters. The Field Pistol and .22 rams at 100 meters are in front of the Big Bore pigs.

Impressive TG, in many ways. Your shooting style is novel and doable..

I would be interested in seeing a closeup of your gun showing the forend

closer detail.. Don't know if l could l adapt since l am left-handed and right-eyed.

The mounts used to set the CHICKENS is quite unique also.. Not much

chance of "Rick Oshae" claiming any HITS. The range J Moose and l shoot

is located in a pasture.. Your target mounts would not be Cow Friendly :-(.

Thanks for sharing. Don't E V E R stop shooting. That's what Old Horace

and Dan invented/made those guns for.. "SHOOTEN"

Thanks for the kind words, sw282. I will see if Tracy can put up a pic of just the gun when she has time. I'm somewhat computer challenged, but she is a computer genius.

I never stopped shooting, just doing different games now.

Innovative fore end mods to the revolver to take advantage of a shooting style that obviously works for you! Too bad it throws the revolver into UAS, but once there you are able to utilize all the advantages, i.e., porting, sights, grips, etc.

I think I will stick to my manually operated AR kluges for now in UAS. Heavy weight .223 projectiles have been taking down Rams reliably, just so long as I avoid the "heart/lung" area shots.
