I put on a chunk shoot ever year at the Hefley Creek 10 day Rendezvous. Only trail walk, hunting-type rifles are allowed. 50 yards, 10 shot string. It was won with about a 4 1/4" string, last year. Considering the major events in the States are won with mid 3" strings, 4 1/4" string with a 7 1/2 to 8 pound rifle isn't too shabby. It just happened to be a .40. The previous year, my bro won using his 10 pound .50 Virginia rifle.

Chunk is a lot of fun, and not as easy as most who haven't shot it, would think.
