Sometimes one just....

[Martini2]

Hello Kurt, this is yer far East flatlander from Ohio (we met at Big Hill in June) Since I have "outlaw" tendencies like use of smokeless, it follows when opportunity came recently to dive in head first "Some times one just.... " pool it was taken. I'll apologize up front to traditional BPCR fans. Please be kind as this about 45-70 and gong type event. Or drag up what ya bring matches. Hope that disclaimer suffices. Very recently I came across a very good Lyman Centennial 1 of 1000 Ruger #1 in Mahogany case and all. After haggle it was mine for reasonable sum. With only a few 457124 greasers on hand 12 rds were loaded. It was just in time for a local silhouette match so the rig was tried (with groups permission) @ 100 yd line (only bore sighted). My '74 Sharps was used for rest of match. The #1 was set up with the 36 " 4X scope it came with and unofficial score of 10/10 was run up at 100 yd Chicks. Since as you might recall this geezer had a torn rotator cuff, I shot the #1 off sticks and we did not post the perfect score for record. I finished the rest of match with 34/40 with ye Ol Sharps. Here is the kicker and so folks will possibly forbear such "Just have to"[/size][/font] have experience. On 8th of July the surgeons worked over my right shoulder. They are so proud of their handiwork it's been declared said shoulder may not be used for 6 months and the arm attached should lift no more than 1-2 lbs. for 6 weeks. As qualifier to allow diverse taste in rifle I passed 70th year mark this month too. Besides it is a darn beautiful rifle piece and a shooter to boot. I just had ta, RobertB
