If scoring is determined by group size, would it matter what target you shot at? Witnessed or honor system? I think I know the answer to that one!

I downloaded some of those targets. I can see why you chose that one, it will make scoring easier.

This is like Hamlet's "words, words, words"
New question: when priting, what size do we use? Legal or A4 or anything else?

Standard 8.5 X 11 office printer paper. All that is really important is that the bull and grid size are uniform.

I'm out. My printer has been down for a couple of years. Since it was just group size I didn't think the target would matter.

No problem. PM me your address and I'll send you as many as the groups you want to enter.

OK, it's on. Nothing hard about this, folks. We are making the entry cutoff November 30th, 2020 but have not yet decided on the cutoff for shooting. Kind of depends on how many of you sign up. One thing for sure; if you don't get your name in the hat either by entering yourself or contacting Shotgun Dave or myself, you won't be in it! So, come on and sign up!

Sign me up for this one.   This sounds great.   Both offhand and using a rest.   .44 Caliber only for each category.

Does the type of Cap and Ball revolver matter?   Does it have to be a Colt pattern, or can it be a Remington type?

While a Colt will earn you more worthless points from Colt lovers...no, you may use any period-correct revolver with loose black powder and ball. This includes Rogers and Spencer, Starr, Paterson, Root sidehammer, and others with the possible exception of the ROA, which of course, is not 'period correct'. I'll throw your name in the ring.

5 shot group. Nope, you can use whatever revolver you prefer.

Somebody just asked via pm if it was acceptable to use paper cartridges...yes. They were in use during the period.
Also, the topic just came up regarding the Pietta Remington 'target model' and our judge has decided no, as it might give an unfair advantage. If that's the only gun you have, we might consider a handicap.
