I may do that myself, as I need to pay attention to everything I can see or hear when I get there. Room is already reserved. I had originally thought of traveling on Thursday, but have since changed that to an early Friday start. Heck, I may change it back too, depending on traveling weather.

If you seen my 50 and 100yd targets I shot yesterday, you'd have to change one of the above sentences........

I can't spell redicolus right so, how about pitiful................

However........ where can ANYONE go where there will be so much knowledge and the abilities to learn as the Friendship inline match?

Good news on weather report.
Can't believe everyone wouldn't want it like the first match.. mid-30's and wind gust for each temp degree!

Thank you. I'm hoping to get some great advice and learn. Its going to be a whole lot of fun shooting with others. Few if any designated muzzleloader shooters up my way. Some hunt with them just to extend their season, but short of that, nobody shows up at the range with a muzz, everybody shoots a CF.

Also would like to thank Knight Rifle for donating a rifle to be given away. Swiss powder donated a case of powder to give away, and Burris scope, Hodgdon powder also.

I had a ball! Wasn't a single shooter there that wouldn't help out a "first timer".

I don't get that much BP residue all over me in 2 years of shooting by myself... :lol:

Thank you to everyone who helped and offered advice.

 

[WV Hunter]

Sounds like ya'll had a great time!

Encore, how'd you do for a first timer?

154........... I learned a ton of really helpful information. There wasn't any constant wind but what wind there was, was all over the place. I watched a large red flag blow straight out to the NW, where two yellow flags to the west laid limp. Then the opposite would happen or, they'd both be pointing towards the center or, hanging straight down. I learned more about how hot my barrel can get in 30 minutes and how the POI would rise. I also learned before the match started when I wanted to foul the barrel with a couple rounds, SHOOT THEM IN ORDER, LEFT TO RIGHT. :lol: I was there early and one of the guys said he'd spot for me when I fouled. He asked me what I would be shooting at and I chose the turkeys in the right hand group (400yds). I sent the first round and down went a turkey. Sent another round and down went the second turkey. We talked for a minute and he asked if I was going to shoot another? Heck, why not one more. That's when I made my first mistake. He told me with 3 turkeys there, I'd be shooting at the 3rd bird. I though what the heck, counted over to the third bird on the end and sent a round. Down went the turkey. THAT'S when I learned the order and that the 3rd bird I was supposed to shoot at, was the 3rd from the left, or next standing bird. Not the third bird left on the rail. Well I killed it but it wouldn't have counted in a match :lol:

I had fun, plain and simple. Where else is a guy from the "tundra" going to go where there's that many shooting a muzz? Long trip, long drive with 1,084 miles and about 18 hours total on the road.
