May Mail in Match for Fellow THR Members

I disagree with you guys. Why would you put up a deck of cut in half and 3/4 cards up and shoot at them. If you hit the card, you hit the card. I think the only reason they overlap is so they all fit on the paper. So hitting the card on top is the same as hitting the card behind it. If you hide behind a small piece of paper and I shoot a hole in that paper, does the bullet not also hit you?

I guess he could have just been addressing the gap in between cards. Since they overlap and there is that small space between cards, he could have just been talking about that. I don't know. I am in an argumentive mode right now, but I realize, it is pointless for us to do so. What ever ROTR says, is pretty much what I am going to accept. I can see it going either way. From the original instructions, it is not very clear.

The nice thing about this is we are hashing out the logistics. Now we can probably generate some example targets for future matches. That way it will all be very clear in the future. "Note shot labeled #2. That could be scored as a Ace or a 10. Shot #5 could only be a Jack." So that is the good thing.

And Photo Guy, I am sure that ROTR can rescore your target for you. That is why you scan them and send them in, you always have your originals. You don't have a scanner? Well I guess this is a good reason to go get one! :D

Yes, exactly. I'd like to see this target again in a future match. I'm sure ROTR never expected this to generate this much discussion.

As far as I'm concerned, score it again or don't it really doesn't matter. I had fun trying to shoot the target using the rules as I understood them at the time.
 
Posted earlier --

To make it clear, one shot going through 2 cards cannot count both cards if you miss another shot, you choose the better card for your hand.

So if you have only 4 shots hitting cards, even if they overlap, you cannot score a flush or straight. You only have 4 cards.

I'm shooting mine today. It seems like it's harder than it looks.:D
 
ROTR, that doens't completely answer the question. May the shooter choose which score he takes if he hits overlapping parts of two cards? If so, El Rojo gets the Ace AND the Jack. (there are two hits on the Jack)

Whoops! I did not see the hit through the 7, I thought he only had 4 hits.

10-J-Q-K-A - Royal Flush for El Rojo. Unfortunately, El Rojo brought a rifle to a pistol match w/ the Garand, but even if we had an open class this month, it's only for if you don't have the featured weapon.

Kind of a mess of a target with the overlapping cards, but it's all in good fun
 
Well, all this talk made me get off my lazy butt and actually go shoot a target. I tried to make it as uncontroversial as possible by aiming for the club symbol. I missed 2.

Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner (I know, get with the program), so I took an ephoto of the target and attached it below. Hope it is acceptable, thre's no way I could get it in the mail to arrive in time.

***********************************************
Class: Scoped

Date: 5/30/03

Weapon used: Mk512 with red dot scope Caliber .22 LR

Poker Hand: Royal flush

Score 100/100

Signature (on file) ;)

***********************************************

ROTR - Do you want the targets mailed to you anyway? I'd be glad to do that.

I'm really going to try to actually shoot my target tomorrow (actually today being it's after 2400). Anyway another busy month and now I'll be shooting at the last minute. I hope I'm up to it. My arm injury is much better.

Shot my target and got it e-mailed. I must admit to having to take advantage of the overlapping cards rule to get my score. It was a fun target anyway. Thanks again ROTR.

Scott
 
Looks like I missed out on this month

I waited too long to use snail mail, and this morning my scanner went from "kinda cranky" to "big paper weight". Still, I had a great time with the offspring today with copies of that target playing poker at 50 yrds with .22 rifles. Oh well, I'll get you guys next month.
 
Why does ROTR tease us? I am sure he is going to give some excuse like he is married or he has a newborn or something. Whatever. :rolleyes:

LOL! He posted seconds before I did. His post wasn't there when I started typing! Thanks!
 
ROTR - Don't appologize, just go back to your original post and use the edit command to make it say 6/3 (or 6/4) instead of 6/2!:D

I appreciate your efforts to coordinate this match. Thanks!
 
May 2003 Poker Shoot Results:

The recovering DeputyVaughn (hope you're doing well), Tupperware and Quantrill all got Royal Flushes for a 3-way tie in the Stock Class.

ACP230 wins the Improved Class with a flush - shot with his Colt Combat Commander in (?) 9mm (?)...where's the hardball?

Mal H, Peter Gun and your humble range officer ROTR tie for 1st in the scoped class with three Royal Flushes shot with a Ruger MK512 and a pair of scoped Browning Buckmarks (jeez I love that gun!).

Nice shooting everyone! I probably should have established a better tie breaker, but it's all fun. I especially like the Royal Flush attempts that went haywire on the last shot (like my .357 and El Rojo's .40 S&W -- at least I flinched DOWN on the Queen and got a 7 to pull out a flush on my 5th shot). I also like the dual entries with a 100-point Royal Flush and the 95-point 5 Aces with a sub-1" grouping just to show off!

Year-to-date scores to follow.

RULE CHANGE FOR NEXT MONTH: After some well-reasoned arguments and a lot of whining, this will be the LAST month where your WORST score is carried forward. From now on, I will carry your BEST score forward. Unless otherwise noted, I will only allow three entries per month and all must be in different classes (the whole point of multiple entries is to encourage good people to purchase more weaponry).

Nice shootin' Huckleberries! Not that we need it, but here's a cool correction chart for bullseye pistol if you haven't seen it yet. I tend to either push down or heel it anticipating recoil.

I was the only one to use a .44? Come on, everyone knows paper cards require massive penetration, right?:)

Thanks again ROTR, I'm having a ton of fun w/ this. Glad my targets made in under the wire!

BTW folks, I'm not shooting that spectacularly, but I'm entering often so my overall score is way up there. Enter the June match today!!! :cool:
