All of us have our favorite targets we like to shoot, I'm sure. I like paper myself. I find paper demands of me to become a better shot with ball placement rather then what is needed for gongs, though many sihlouettes do require higher ball placement to topple them so a person better be able to put that lead ball where needed when the time comes if they want to score points. Still, I like paper targets. They seem to be my favorite.
Two of my all time favorite matches are the, 50 & 100 yard Buffalo X-Stick Match (just something about using a 13.75 pound fifty caliber rifle I guess), and I also like the 60 yard Chunk Gun Matches (Over the Log Shoot). The rifle I use for this Over the Log Match weighs 14.25 pounds...
Over a years time however I shoot more offhand matches from 25, 50, and 100 yards, but I'm not complaining as I've found as I get older my muscles seem to stay sore a lot longer after a, X-Stick & Chunk Gun Match. Must be all that up and down carrying a heavy rifle back and forth from the loading bench?
How 'bout the rest of you? What's your favorite targets and matches?
