Today, dvnv and I filled a couple of satchels with guns and headed for the hills.
I'm glad I hadn't posted my expectations. How humiliating! I don't like eggs, but I'd have them all over my face!

I did more weak-hand shooting during this contest than I've done total over my lifetime. But that's OK, since it was only at three yards and not as troubling as I expected.

The rules didn't specify, but I did the kneeling shots from a standing start, and that put me up against the buzzer.
I shot past the buzzer three times, one of which I didn't bother to finish-

.45 Gold Cup, 185 JHP at 1100fps, overtime on kneeling, -4.472":

.475 Linebaugh single-action, 375gr somethingorother, went overtime from the dang 5-yard line! (but that's a lot of recoil to recover from!), -4.572":

Bossman, accept the entries howsomever you wish. This was fun (though discouraging).
