Thread: Possum Payday For Boys

No Raging Bull no talley on the hares but possom trapper has kept a talley on the possoms since his last sale.
Got an old notebook liying around somwhere that I use too keep talleys years ago.

Dundee, in my day falling plate was a squad team shooting competion with the targets down range being steel plate in the shape of a L which had the toe facing toward the shooters so they would fall over when hit. For example, imagine a squad of five shooters with aperture sight SLR,s on a mound with 10 plates out at the 100 metre mark each shooter with 20 rounds in a magazine. The shooting commences, and once all of the targets are down the squad's score (based on time and unfired rounds left in the squad) is assessed. Then the next team is up. The difficulty was that if you did not hit the target properly it could spin without falling over which would increase the degree of difficulty. This made the event a true team event as if you could no longer drop the target because of the oblique angle then your mate on the end of the mound might have a better line of sight. The optimum score would see 90 rounds left in hand and if there were more than one team that achieved that then the time would factor.

Thanks Rushy
