Right, got myself a loan of a Parker Hale Volunteer rifle for the coming Thursday so I am anticipating getting started on my targets for the MAH BP shooting competition.
Will I be the first to get a target in I asks meself?

Well Joe, the total targets already received is.........................NIL so you are in with a chance.
Don't forget, I need the actual target in the post to qualify for the BIG PRIZE
Good luck mate!

I'm going to have to print out the targets on a card paper as the normal printer paper is tearing badly and it will make scoring the cards difficult. It wasn't a wasted morning though as I now have a load sorted out for 25m.
It'll be two weeks now before I can borrow the rifle again so I will shoot my cards then.

Results are not bad at all Joe.
The rifle looks great too.
Got some range time coming up next week Sunday.
My Ardesa Hawken Woodsman is ready to go........so am I.

Thanks Joe.
I bought my first muzzle loader not so very long ago.
I have to warn you.
It's very addictive.
I wish I started years ago with this part of our hobby.
I like everything about it.....yes....even the cleaning afterwards.
Good luck to you too Joe.
Met vriendelijke groet,
Martin

Well, I shot all four of my cards on Thursday and I reckon that my scores won't take too much beating.
I did enjoy shooting them though.
Joe
