Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well I am getting my mess put together for the last and final Cowboy shoot of the year. I will be shooting against another State Champ today so I will be pushed for sure. I love shooting against him as he is very fast. And a mere twenty or so years younger and he competes in a different division. But none of that matters when we line up side by side. He is an excellent competitor. I will find out today if I managed to pull off a victory in the Buckhorn challenge as well. At this point I am on top but folks get today to post more points. Hopefully my lead is enough to hold, we will see. Imagine shooting a pistol cartridge in a lever action rifle (1897 vintage) equipped with Buckhorn sights only, then engaging targets from 200-400 yards. It is a bit of a challenge. Trying to hit 8 inch plates. It is one of my favorite events, keep in mind the load has to be SASS compliant so very low power loads. You shoot, have a cup of coffee, maybe a biscuit then listen to see if you here the ring on the steel. It is a hoot. At even two hundred yards I have so much elevation correction I cannot even begin to see the target. You line up on center and add elevation hoping you don’t deviate from center axis, hah! Good times.
We did some target shooting at 565 yards. Lots of mississippis before we heard sprocket ring.
Buddy’s daughter was 8, hit it consistently. Prone with a bipod though.
