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.
First match today

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.

Re: First match today
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.

Re: First match today
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
