RE: They say it can't be done
Sam, as weird as it sounds that match down by Denver is the closest one there is, so in all these years of messing around we've just never made it to one. But as this match was the Charlie Semmer memorial match, and I knew him years ago when shooting muzzleloaders....
Cody Smith has been pestering that we should come try the game as well.
We have shot the 22 bpcr quite a bit, and so we decided to twist off and give this a try.
I do agree a lot with your statement about it. Altho it is better than a gong match in that you don't have some yoyo standing there telling you when to shoot, and with the exception of some of the chickens, a bullet into the ground in front of the target isn't going to give someone a hit they don't deserve, and you don't have to worry about the radio not working and getting cheated out of a hit. No waiting for hours between relays,,, the sillouette game does have a lot going for it.
Had a bad day on Saturday, my sight caddy has decided to become AWOL , so the only aperature I had was the lollipop I like for the creedmoor matches. Not exactly ideal for shooting those animals in low light and heavy overcast conditions. Sunday, Jim, the guy that got stuck shooting with Carol and I found out about my aperature problems and graciously borrowed me one to use for the day, and that helped immensely.
I would like to try the game again, and maybe do so with a scope.
A wise man can always be found alone. A weak man can always be found in a crowd.
