Re: Victorian Rifleman Shoot

The Gopher Match was the Rook and Rabbit match for rook rifles. Only problem was that the fellow that was making and bringing the rook and rabbit targets was involved in a serious accident and was unable to deliver the targets, so we used these iron gophers.

I took the lawn mower and pushed it out across the prairie making a path from the side of the 50 yard target lane about 75 yards long. Then I walked down the lane aways, then walked a ways out in the knee high grass and cleared a spot in the grass with the weed whacker and set a gopher in the small clearing. I had 11 targets. 10 of the targets were place out in grass from pretty close to pretty far. 10 to 50 yards or so.

To shot the course the shooter started at the firing line and got three shoots at an Iron gopher sitting onthe 50 yard target stand. If they hit the gopher with the first or second shoot they rest were saved shoots and could be used later. After firing at teh first gopher the shooter started down the path lookinf for gopher to shoot. They got one shot at each gopher as the went along. If they had a saved round from the first gopher they could shoot a second or third shot. Otherwise one shot per gopher. If they hit the gopher it went flying.

The shooter had ten minutes to cover the course.

Here's the results;

BSA 4A .310 Cadet 8 hits
BSA 4A .310 Cadet 4 hits
DAW Martini .360 #5 3 hits
BSA 4A .310 Cadet 3 hits
DAW Martini .360 #5 2 hits
