Coulda, and shoulda. But my "official" Field Pistol Any Sight entry was a Dave Chaney Memorial, using his 25-20 Contender. Not many rounds out of it, yet, but shot 40/60, which was good enough for a shoot-off for the FPAS title. Came up one short to the match director, so happy about that. The stupid part is the 629-6 "High Rise" that I shot as a re-entry managed a 42/60, which would have taken the win.
The rather more astonishing result was a 42/60 in Field Pistol (iron sights) using the 29-3 10 5/8" revolver. Completely blew it on Rams, managing only 4 of 15. (Did hit one more solidly, but it decided not to go down!!!!) So most of that entry was outstanding. The winner shot a 45/60, using a Contender in .22 Hornet.
Very cool, windy, and often rainy three days of shooting. But folk were having a good time, and we had a good post-match dinner with door prizes.
Some photos:
The 629-6 with the new scope. Hasn't helped scores at all, upgrading from the used pawn shop $39.95 Simmons scope!
Still chugging along. But about time to clean the outside.
May or March???

Considering the weather conditions and steady winds I'd say you did quite well. The iron sights on the Silhouette 29 seemed to work out good for you.
