Target Progression

Post by RanchRoper » Tue Oct 24, 2017 9:38 pm

I was looking through old photos in a folder I store things in that I've posted on the forum. It was interesting to see 50 yd targets from the time I bought my 1860 Henry to recently. April this year to now. Various wind speeds, mostly Winchester 250 gr LFN ammo, lots of early shots pulling left but I do see some improvement over time. They are not all the targets from these months, but a good cross section of what I thought was my best effort at the time. As mentioned before, the wind is a handful out here, and it plays hell with 45 Colt lead. Anyhow, I'll keep on shootin'. :)

Don't mean to start controversies about "who's the best shooter" here, but that last target is pretty amazing, RR.

And to think it's a gun pretty much out of antiquity..............

..and then sometimes you get a real crappy target and you're left scratching your head; too much caffeine, not enough, wrong socks that day, ???

It truly is a competition with yourself as NCG suggested in another thread. Just keep putting lead down range I guess is the answer! :lol:

Yup, keep shooting. That's the idea. Nice work.

I will take that last target under those conditions any day! I probably can't do that offhand with iron sights at 25 yards, much less 50.

Nice shooting.
