Tell us about the format of the shoot.
Any running boar type targets?




There were ten shooting stations. Two shots were taken by each shooter at each station. The targets were steel plates hung in the woods at various ranges from 50 to 200 yards. Shots were offhand, except for one station with the 200 yard target. There the shooters were allowed to use a field rest position.

However, at the end of the shoot there were three shooters tied for first place, so a shoot-off was necessary. The shoot-off was sudden-death and was held at the 200 yard target station with only offhand shots allowed. No rests at the shoot-off. That's when Mike cleaned out the other two contenders. You gotta watch out for Mike!

There were no moving targets.

The shooting lanes were through wooded areas. In most places the shooter had to aim around hanging branches and other obstacles. The lanes were not clear. It was breezy that day, so a lot of stuff was moving downrange.

Here's a photo from the event:



And here's a group photo after the competition:




Only stalking rifle calibers loaded with lead (not jacketed) bullets were allowed.

I shot my Army & Navy Farquharson .450/400 3-1/4" with nitro for black loads. Watson577 shared my rifle. He enjoyed it so much that on the drive home he bought a Ruger No. 1 in .450/400 3" off GunBroker. His rifle is a great shooter and will appear in any future events. It likes the same nitro for black load I am using.

Great fun!
