Attended my first shoot today. Had a lot of fun, and some mixed results running the .41 mag Bhawk in FP standing and Big Bore standing. I now know that I despise the turkey. I want them all dead. I may have to print some off and wear out some brass ventilating them in my backyard.
Was able to hit more than 50% of chickens and pigs in both FP and BB. Ok for my first attempt I guess. Took some rounds to figure out how to make the BB rams go ping. Went through my first 10 without a hit, then fired 5 more off the record. What a feeling to find the range and knock something down that far out with a box-stock wheelgun! Tagged 3/5 in that practice string. I might be hooked.

Told wife she's lucky IHMSA is my mid life crisis, it's cheaper than a Corvette or chasing younger women!

Re: First match today
You did far better than I did at my first match 21 years ago.
Well done. You will only get better.
Welcome and thank you.

Shot again today and finally killed some of those bastard turkeys! Even hit 4/10 at the big bore line in an evil wind. Yeah, I probably am hooked. Thanks a lot, don't tell my wife.

Yeah you're hooked! When that first ram fell you were done. Now all you have to do is shoot against yourself. Oh and empty your wallet .
