Gun Fun

The results for last months postal match are up at Armes et tir Passion. This contest was a tribute to a pistol instructor whose trademark was shooting playing cards. Target #1 was the five of hearts. You get 2 shots at each heart from 10 yards. Here's mine:

You get 10 pts for hitting a heart, and one for hitting inside the card.

Having warmed up, you put on your long range glasses, and go for the ace of clubs:
You get 10 for hitting the trefoil club, five for hitting or getting inside the wreath, and one for hitting the card. This from 25 yards.

Class 1 rimfire iron sights:

James and Paula were my shooting buddies that day. James insists I assure everybody that he can't hit the ground but for gravity or exceptional good luck, and Paula is my Padewan student. Coming along nicely, too.
